The European Commission has announced plans to restrict new supply contracts for uranium, enriched uranium and other nuclear materials deriving from Russia as it steps up its bid to “fully end” its dependency on Russian energy.

The commission unveiled a new roadmap that lays out plans to to ensure ends dependency on Russia while ensuring stable energy supplies and prices across the EU.

The commission said the EU has dropped its share of Russian gas imports from 45% to 19%, thanks to the REPowerEU Plan, launched in May 2022 to reduce the EU’s dependency on Russian energy. However, the EU saw a rebound in Russian gas imports in 2024.
