European demand for Russian liquified natural gas (LNG) is at a record high, despite the sweeping sanctions brought in against Moscow over the war in Ukraine, according to a report by environmental organizations released on Tuesday.
The study, titled “A Bumper Year for Russian LNG Exports to the EU - Abetted by Germany,” by several environmental organizations—Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), Urgewald of Germany, Razom We Stand of Ukraine, and Belgium’s Bond Beter Leefmilieu—showed that imports of Russian LNG to the European Union rose by 19.3 percent from 2023 to 2024.
