Germany has said it will stop importing oil from Russia by the end of the year.
"We will halve oil by the summer and will be at zero by the end of the year, and then gas will follow," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
Germany currently buys a quarter of its oil and 40% of its gas from Russia and has warned that it could face a recession if supplies suddenly stopped.
The US has already banned Russian oil imports, while the UK plans to phase them out by the end of the year.
The EU has said it will switch to alternative supplies and make Europe independent from Russian energy "well before 2030".
Ms Baerbock said it would follow a "European roadmap" in phasing out oil and gas imports.
"Our joint exit, the complete exit of the European Union, is our common strength," she added.
Germany has already halted the opening of a big Russian gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, in response to the war.

They should build LNG terminals Floating eggshells with all those anonymous antitank missiles and antiaircraft missiles floating around Europe?
Wait'll the first one goes up in a "terrorist attack". You can't guarantee delivery, and Russia has every right to pay back the West with its own weapons that were dumped in Ukraine.
This video will blow your hair back when you figure out what's going on over there.
Various Western Media are running concern-troll stories about weapons like this "disappearing" when they reach Ukraine...

Russia will send oil and gas to Belarus.
Then “Belarusian” oil and gas will go to Germany.
