BRUSSELS: President of European Union Commission Ursula von der Leyen said the EU on Tuesday will table proposals to ‘quickly get rid’ of the dependency on Russian fossil fuels. She noted that the approach to reduce dependency on Russia is by diversifying suppliers, switching to LNG and pipeline gas and by investing in renewables.
