I don't know when Europe managed to "escape Russian energy dependence" as it still seems to be buying tremendous amounts of Russian fossil fuels that are now branded as Turkish, Indian, Azeri, the list goes on.

Do the list go on ? For gas Q2 2025, figure 5 at https://www.bruegel.org/dataset/european-natural-gas-imports it's

    UK          5,6%
    Azerbadjan  3,8%
    Algeria    12,5%
    Norway     30,1%
    Other LNG   9,4%
    USA LNG    27,2%
    Russia     11,5%
Most of the "Other LNG" comes from Turkstream in the underlying data. Edit: I was wrong, Turkstream is included in "Russia", other sources points to Qatar and Nigeria being the largest part of "Other LNG"

If I read it right, for oil in Q1 2025, https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

    United States    15,0%
    Norway           13,5%
    Kazakhstan       12,7%
    Libya             9,0%
    Saudi Arabia      6,6%
    Nigeria           6,3%
    United Kingdom    5,2%
    Iraq              4,5%
    Guyana            4,3%
    Brazil            4,1%
    Azerbaijan        4,1%
    Algeria           3,4%
    Russia            2,5%
    Mexico            2,1%
    Other             6,6%

Europe has been dependent on Russian oil and gas for many years--and still is continuing to buy Russian natural gas. In fact, the EU imported €4.4 billion worth of Russian gas in the first half of 2025. https://www.brusselstimes.com/1707644/eu-imported-e4-4-billi...
