Europe has reduced its energy dependence on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine by diversifying gas suppliers, but experts warn it remains vulnerable to price shocks and geopolitical tensions affecting supply. While the shift to liquefied natural gas (LNG) has increased resilience, it has also exposed the continent to greater global market volatility and competition.
