Some European countries are heavily dependent on Russia for their gas supply.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said earlier this month that EU leaders had agreed to spend the next two months drafting proposals for eliminating the bloc's dependency on Russian energy imports by 2027.
Here's a look at actions some EU countries are taking:
Germany: Russia's biggest energy customer in Europe had already taken measures to address the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. But now it is responding to more concerns about possible gas shortage along with other countries.
Germany has issued an "early warning" of possible natural gas shortages after Russia said it wanted to be paid in rubles and threatened to cut off supplies if that didn't happen.
"A payment with rubles is not acceptable," German economy minister Robert Habeck said on Monday.
Speaking at a news conference in Berlin on Wednesday, he said the warning stage was of a preventive nature and would see increased monitoring of gas supplies. He also called upon companies and consumers to use gas sparingly. German gas storage is currently filled to 25% capacity, according to Habeck.
Putin told Scholz the law that payments for Russian energy supplies would have to be made in rubles does not apply to European partners, and payments would continue to be made in euros and transferred to Gazprom Bank, which is not affected by sanctions, and then converted into rubles, according to the readout.
“Chancellor Scholz did not agree to this procedure in the conversation, but asked for written information to better understand the procedure,” the readout said.
Netherlands: The Dutch government asked the public to use less gas as it hopes to reduce its dependency on Russian imports, according to a spokesperson for the economy ministry. However, the Netherlands would not be triggering a gas crisis plan, a spokesperson told CNN. Instead, the government hopes to reduce Dutch gas usage through a campaign addressing its citizens.
Austria: Vienna issued an "early warning" of possible natural gas shortages in the country, which also follows Russia's threat to cut off supplies if it was not paid in rubles. The early-stage warning sees Austria take "the next step in the preparation for an emergency," Climate Minister Leonore Gewessler wrote on Twitter.
Europe heavily relies on Russia for gas. Here's how it's reacting to concerns about possible gas shortages

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke on the phone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later on Wednesday, in which he stressed Berlin is committed to a G7 agreement that energy supplies from Russia would be paid for only in euros or US dollars, according to a German readout of the call.

German and French economic ministers said Thursday that they were committed to existing agreements with Russia on making the payments for Russian gas supplies only in euros.
“The contracts are in euros and must be paid in euros and will be paid in euros,” French Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire said during a joint news conference with his German counterpart Robert Habeck.
“We will not accept the method of payment for [Russian] gas in any other currency than stated in the contract,” Le Maire added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that according to a newly signed decree regarding natural gas trading with “unfriendly countries,” companies will need to have accounts in Russian banks and pay for contracts in rubles.
At a separate news conference Thursday, Habeck said that Germany is “prepared” for all scenarios, including a stoppage of Russian gas flows to Europe, while Le Maire said France is “preparing” in case Russia cuts off gas deliveries.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also insisted Thursday that Berlin will make payments for Russian gas only in euros.
“We must secure energy supplies to make sure that the economy functions, because the gas coming from Russia is not only being used for private households but also by industries where jobs are concerned, and prosperity must be maintained,” Nehammer said.

Gazprombank has been appointed as an authorized bank that will open special accounts in rubles for gas buyers from "unfriendly countries" and will sell currency for conversion into rubles for gas payment at Moscow Exchange auctions, Russian state news agency TASS reported Thursday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Thursday that according to a newly signed decree regarding natural gas trading with "unfriendly countries," companies will need to open ruble accounts in Russian banks, and payments should come from these accounts.
Putin made the comments during a virtual meeting that he was chairing to discuss measures to support Russian airlines hit by Western sanctions.
According to TASS, the Bank of Russia must determine within 10 days the procedure for opening special currency accounts for foreign gas buyers.
“In a situation when the financial systems of Western countries are weaponized and companies from these countries refuse to perform their contracts with Russian banks, companies and individuals, and when assets in dollars and euros are frozen, there is no point using the currencies of these countries,” Putin said earlier during his speech.
These actions will strengthen Russia’s financial sovereignty, Putin said.
“We shall continue to steadily and systemically move in this direction as part of a long-term plan,” he said.

Putin says "unfriendly" countries must pay in rubles for gas or contracts will be suspended
Ukrainian authorities are racing to evacuate civilians from several hard-hit cities, including besieged Mariupol, as Russia's invasion continues.
Putin says "unfriendly" countries must pay in rubles for gas or contracts will be suspended
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that according to a newly signed decree regarding natural gas trading with “unfriendly countries,” companies will need to have accounts in Russian banks and pay for contracts in rubles.
“Today, I signed a decree which sets the rules for trading in Russian natural gas with the so-called unfriendly states. We suggest that counter-parties in these countries use a very simple and transparent scheme in order to buy Russian gas they need to open ruble accounts in Russian banks, and payments should come from these accounts,” Putin said on Thursday.
The new rules take effect tomorrow, April 1.
“If these payments are not made, we shall deem this as non-performance on the part of the buyers and that will lead to consequences. Nobody gives us anything for free and we’re not about to be charitable,” Putin said, adding that active contracts will be suspended.

India continues to toe the line on Ukraine crisis at forum
From CNN's Swati Gupta in DelhiAt the first India-UK Strategic Futures Forum on Thursday, Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar continued India’s stance of not intervening significantly in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
“The real problems are still to come, certainly for our part of the world. We are seeing the impact of the conflict on energy prices, on commodities. … All of this has consequences on the rest of the world, and we are seeing that,” Jaishankar said.
India has declined to take a stance on the conflict in Ukraine and has abstained from multiple United Nations votes. It has instead called for a resolution through diplomacy and peace talks.
Jaishankar acknowledged that the world economy has seen multiple “shocks” in the past 2-3 years, with the Covid-19, the Taliban taking over Afghanistan and now the conflict in Ukraine.
UK Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss repeatedly pointed out how countries across the world are stepping up and denouncing Russia’s attack on Ukraine in an attempt to support every country’s right to democracy.
“We are living in a more insecure world precisely because we have seen Putin’s appalling invasion of Ukraine and violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the shattering of European security,” Truss said.
India has seen a flurry of foreign leaders arriving in the country over the past two weeks. Russia Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived Thursday evening for a series of meetings.

说不定把印度搞成变数，不管怎么样，对中国也不是最差的结果，因为美国早都形成共识，搞倒中国，有个俄罗斯垫背总比孤立强，俄罗斯有能源矿产和非常聪明的人才和1.4亿人口的市场。老毛子数学可能是全世界最强的。
你知道毛子自视是很高的，他们的文化，他们的宗教和血统，那是金贵的不得了。最终和无神的中国尿道一壶去不容易，最多虚与尾蛇。
美国和欧洲的纽带不只是钱，他们都是新教立国的，这一点是很重要。

俄罗斯这次如果不能让欧洲屈服，以后机会渺茫。
2021年，欧盟有45%天然气从俄国进口。
欧洲能源正在积极转型，希望戒除对俄罗斯能源的依赖。
欧盟矢言今年底前将俄国天然气进口减少3分之2，届时，俄能源筹码大幅缩水。
无论建LNG船和码头，还是铺设通向中东的油气管道，都不是短期可以解决的问题。
欧洲依赖的不只是俄罗斯能源，而是俄罗斯能源廉价。如果把廉价俄罗斯能源换成其他高价能源，欧洲的钢铁业化工业都会失去竞争力了。
如果欧洲能承受长期经济衰退，人民生活水平下降，那不服是不行的！ 呵呵

意大利开始“就坡下驴”了，使用卢布购买天然气！眼看普京即将关闭天燃气阀门，欧盟内部已经出现分裂。刚刚意大利和斯洛伐克表态，将按照普京提出的方案继续购买天然气。其中意大利总理表示，自己在前一天已经与普京通话，使用卢布支付违反购买合同的规定，不可接受也不可行！但可以尝试使用……同时他也表示，会继续支付美元和欧元购买天然气，兑换成卢布是俄罗斯内政。
意大利总理这番表态绕来绕去，既不想被指责向普京服软，更不想被断供天然气。普京显然也料到了这一点，允许在瑞士的俄银行使用欧元兑换成卢布，然后购买天然气。在瑞士兑换和在莫斯科兑换，实际意义差别不大，但却给了欧盟各国一个台阶。既然普京留了“面子”，意大利和斯洛伐克也就“就坡下驴”。相对于意大利和斯洛伐克，还有很多欧盟国家对俄罗斯天然气更加依赖。既然有国家挑头，想必近期会有大批欧盟国家陆续选择妥协方案。
