Independent research body CREA estimates the EU has still paid billions since February 24, despite Russia being internationally ostracized.
On March 8, the European Commission presented a proposal to cut its gas imports from Russia by two thirds before the end of 2022 on the way to become completely independent from Russian fossil fuels"well before" 2030.

"What we have here, it's that the EU has put in place an ambitious plan to reduce and eliminate imports over the next years," said Myllvirta."But in the immediate short term, their imports haven't been affected by these plans, and because of the high prices the flow of money has in fact increased."
