Dependence on Russia is quite sharply down. In Q1 2022 the EU imported 63 billion EUR worth of goods from Russia, in Q3 2025 only 5.7 billion. So down 90%.

In terms of fossil fuels:

- Russia isn't even in the top 6 oil supplies of the EU. The top 6 are USA, Norway, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Iraq. They make up ~60% of EU oil imports.

- In raw natural gas: Norway, Algeria, UK and Azerbaijan supply 81% of EU imports.

- In liquefied natural gas: USA, Qatar and Algeria supply 68% of EU imports.

Add to that Dutch and Danish North Sea oil and gas and it's evident the EU is not "dependent" on Russia.
