Under the plans, imports of all Russian gas and liquefied natural gas to European Union member states will be banned by the end of 2027.
"No more will we permit Russia to weaponise energy against us... No more will we indirectly help fill up the [Kremlin's] war chests," European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen said in a news conference in Strasbourg on Tuesday.
In response to the plans, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the Reuters news agency on Tuesday that Europe was "shooting itself in the foot".
