Belgium and Spain are world’s second and third-biggest importers of Russian LNG this year

“It’s shocking that countries in the EU have worked so hard to wean themselves off piped Russian fossil gas only to replace it with the shipped equivalent. It doesn’t matter if it comes from a pipeline or a boat — it still means European companies are sending billions to [Vladimir] Putin’s war chest.”

    I think the point is the LNG pretty much negates the sanctions. Why bother with sanctions if you simply skirt them and buy from Russia anyhow?

    The record volumes are the increases month after month.
