Greenpeace's research reveals that the Kremlin earned approximately €8.10bn in tax revenues from European energy companies importing Russian LNG between 2022 and 2024. Despite the EU's efforts to reduce reliance on Russian pipeline gas post-invasion of Ukraine, LNG shipments increased significantly. Yamal LNG, a key Russian exporter, generated substantial profits, enabling Russia to fund military supplies. Major European countries continue to import Russian LNG, but the EU plans to phase out these imports by 2027. The report emphasizes the need for Europe to transition to renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
