Europe's gas imports from Russia surpassed that of the United States
Eviralnews,, quoted by the “Leisiterrundsche” German newspaper, for the first time in almost two years, the European Union countries imported more gas from Russia than the United States in a three-month period.
This news is obtained based on the data of Brussels Brugel consulting company. Accordingly, the European Union has purchased 12.7 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia and 12.3 billion cubic meters from the United States of America in the quarter of April to June. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, deliveries from Russia fell slightly, but deliveries from the United States fell sharply. The German newspaper Die Welt also reported on this today (Sunday).
Accordingly, Norway remains the largest supplier of gas to the European Union with 23.9 cubic meters of gas in the second quarter. Russia held this position until the invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, after which many EU countries reduced imports from the country due to the war.
According to the data of the Federal Statistical Office, Germany no longer receives gas from there (Russia). Accordingly, across the European Union, Russia has reached the second place in the list of European gas suppliers, just ahead of the United States. The target countries were not specified in this data.
