Nord Stream 2 AG, a company controlled by the Russian energy giant Gazprom, has filed a legal action against the European Union. The company is seeking to annul the EU's decision to gradually phase out imports of Russian natural gas. This legal move follows the adoption of EU legislation aimed at reducing dependence on Russian energy sources. According to public documents cited by Reuters, the lawsuit challenges the legality of the phase-out strategy. The dispute highlights the ongoing tension between Russia's energy exports and the EU's strategic shift toward energy independence. The outcome of the court proceedings could impact the future of gas transit through the Nord Stream pipelines.
