Italy hopes to end its dependence on Russian gas in the second half of 2024

Italian Environmental Transformation Minister Roberto Cingolani said in an interview published on Tuesday that his country hopes to end its dependence on Russian gas in the second half of 2024.

“We must achieve self-sufficiency by the second half of 2024. We can dispense with importing Russian gas,” Cingolani added to the daily La Repubblica.

Cingolani responded to a question about the mechanism for paying for gas in Russian rubles, saying that the EU Commission should take a “clear and unambiguous” political position to avoid blaming individual countries or oil and gas companies.
