In addition to the increased purchases of Russian LNG the Europeans continue to buy the continuing flow of Russian natural gas that is moved via Ukrainian pipelines. Of course the purchases of Russian natural gas from Ukrainian pipelines can yield TEN PERCENT (OR MORE) FOR ALL THE VARIOUS “BIG GUYS”. Russian natural gas through the Nord Stream Network could have been done GRIFT FREE at much lower prices.
Why does Europe need LNG? They wind and solar energy!!! Go hug a windmill you idiots.
Ukraine has announced that it will not renew transshipment rights for Russian gas next year, giving landlocked Central European countries like Hungary and Austria one more Winter to complete the transition to other suppliers.
