Prime Minister Boris Johnson will host a press conference later this afternoon with the German chancellor.
He is expected to urge Olaf Scholz to phase out Russian gas imports more quickly due to the war in Ukraine, and offer a helping hand to Berlin due to their heavy reliance on Russian gas and energy exports.
The move could also be seen as an attempt by Western nations relying on Moscow's energy exports to starve Vladimir Putin's war machine and the revenue he uses to fund his ongoing invasion. The UK has already pledged to end all imports of Russian coal and oil by the end of 2022, with gas likely to soon follow.
