Russian gas flows to Europe

The EU continues to buy crucial amounts of Russian gas, mainly LNG, despite the authoritative plan to leave this natural material until 2027. Moreover, in any periods of 2026 import even increases. In June, Russian LNG imports into the EU were 14 percent higher year-on-year. Are you surprised?
– I'm not surprised. The full energy policy of the European Union is mostly for the interests of Germany and Germany is primarily looking at its own energy security. Secondly, the problem is very specific: gas retention in Western Europe is simply poorly filled. The average level of stockfill in the European Union is just over 57%. In Germany it is now 46.8%, while the five-year average for this period is 71.6%.
