Europe has announced RePowerEU, a plan to cut the the final ties to Russian oil and gas imports. The plan is to enhance other sources of power generation plus biogas and green hydrogen to replace natural gas from Russia, and also increase energy efficiency and savings by over 10%.
Crucially, the plan only needs a qualified majority, not unanimity, so Orban and Fico can't block it on their own, and they will probably not find any more supporters, and especially not enough to be able to block this plan.
This would then cut off around 30 billions of annual funds that Russia will be missing after it goes through. Previously Hungary and Slovakia were allowed to continue import oil from Russia as their entire pipeline network was built to receive just from that direction, but now they'll have to adapt, too.
