US EditionEuropean Imports of Russian Shipped Gas Send €8.10bn to Moscow’s Coffers – Report
- On September 30, Greenpeace released a report showing that the four largest EU importers of Russian liquefied natural gas—comprising the majority of the bloc’s LNG purchases—collectively spent more on acquiring Russian gas between 2022 and mid-2025 than they contributed in financial aid to Ukraine during the same period.
- This situation stems from Europe’s ongoing reliance on Russian LNG despite the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine and efforts to reduce dependence.
- The report details that these four countries spent 34.3 billion euros on Russian LNG while providing 21.2 billion euros in support to Ukraine, with Yamal LNG as the primary supplier.
- Greenpeace estimates that from 2022 through 2024, Yamal LNG generated around 34 billion euros in revenue and contributed close to 9.5 billion euros in taxes to the Russian government, funds that could finance thousands of drones, hundreds of tanks, or millions of artillery shells.
- The EU intends to halt Russian LNG imports by the end of 2026 while boosting LNG supplies from the US; however, Greenpeace warns this shift could lead to a new reliance on American gas and urges a swift move toward renewable energy sources instead.
