Afghanistan, Oct. 21 -- EU energy ministers agreed to gradually ban Russian gas imports by 2028, adopting a plan to phase out pipeline and LNG supplies across member states.
The Council of the European Union announced that energy ministers from member states have reached a consensus on phasing out Russian gas imports during a meeting in Luxembourg.
