Why is that so? Have the sanctions run out or do we get russian gas from third parties?
Because it’s clickbait framing. Total imports from Russia are at their lowest point ever. The USA just dropped below Russia in the rankings.
In reality, Europe just imports Russian energy through third parties at a markup. All of a sudden countries like India are importing a lot more energy from Russia, and Europe imports a bunch more energy from India while Europeans pretend they’re not dependent on Russian energy. Anybody with a functioning brain can see through this circus. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/europe-bought-russian-oil-via-india-at-record-rates-in-2023-despite-ukraine-war/articleshow/106777423.cms
The fun part is how this is sabotaging our economy.
You can’t sanction a country if you’re depending on importing critical resources from them…
While that is true and reflected in the article data, it doesn’t contradict what I said. Just in case it was meant to 😄
Yes people still buy Russian energy, some countries more than ever, sometimes through third parties, but total consumption is down.
