UK is not dependent on Russian gas. There's some, but not dominant.

https://www.britishgas.co.uk/the-source/our-world-of-energy/...

- 45 % is from UK production

- 17 % is from LNG tankers (much of that is from Middle East)

- 38 % is from European pipelines, of which 35 % is from Russia.

In other words, Russian supply is about 13 %.

The NY Times article manages to ignore one significant source of electric power, though: about 20 % of British electricity is nuclear. That is not mentioned at all, it just speaks of wind and solar. This is a typical narrative by journalists and in my view it diminishes the credibility of media.
