EU ministers reach an agreement on the emergency plan for gas

European Union energy ministers have agreed on a plan to reduce gas use across the bloc, amid fears that Russia could cut off supplies.

But some say the current watered-down proposal won't be enough to prepare for winter.

The agreement was announced by the Czech Republic, which currently holds the EU presidency.

"This was not an impossible mission!" the Czech presidency wrote on Twitter.

Officials plan to hold a press conference to reveal details of the deal.

The extraordinary meeting comes as Russia is set to again cut gas supplies to the bloc, which depended on Moscow for 40% of its supply before Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.

Although Russia has cited technical reasons for the reduction, many in the EU see the measure as a response to Western sanctions against Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine./ CNA.al
