We already turned off the tap (look at the link above). It is just unimportant countries like Hungary and Slovakia that still import pipeline gas (and they're not making any friends...) . Would be great to pressure them more. Till this year Ukraine still imported nat gas from Russia btw.

LNG is a fungible commodity that is traded world-wide. Don't see much beyond symbolic value here in refusing it. Trying to enforce a price cap would be great there, but needs coordination.

Hello from Slovakia. The gas pipeline from Russia through Ukraine into Slovakia (and further west/south) does not work since January 2025, it was turned off by Ukraine. If there is still gas flowing from Russia, it's through other pipelines, most likely Turkstream, and that too will end in time: https://www.politico.eu/article/bulgaria-end-russian-gas-flo...

We, as far as I know, also sadly import oil from Russia. I expect that to end soon too, because of a combination of political pressure and Ukrainian attacks.

Our current government is pretty close to Putin and Orban and it would be very welcome if the rest of EU attacked this issue more, as you mention.
