The European Union does not intend to revive its imports of Russian energy after a potential peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, the bloc's Energy Commissioner said on Tuesday.

"The European Union is very clear, we do not wish energy from Russia in the future. We don't wish it now, and we will not wish it after a peace," Dan Jorgensen told reporters at a meeting of EU ministers in Warsaw.
