Imports from Russia dropped from just over €60bn in 2022 to around €10bn in 2023, but decreased very little since then.
- Arnt 2y agoIIRC there was a significant decrease in late 2024. The biggest gas distributor in Austra had a contract that basically couldn't be cancelled. However, the contract specified that the Russians deliver the gas, and the Russians did that through Uraine, on a contract that expired late in 2024. At that point the Russian exports to Austra dropped to approximately zero, and I haven't heard any complaints from Austria. There are some other customers (more willing than the Austrians) who also got transit through Ukraine, their purchases also decreased drastically at the same time.
- Arnt 2y agoReplying to myself — I'd forgotten Viktor Orban's vain hope that somehow, the Ukrainians might be persuaded to provide transit. "Maybe if we buy the gas in Russia such that when it crosses Ukraine it's European gas."

- _DeadFred_ 2y agoChina and India purchased $7 billion of Russian oil last month - 85% of all Russian oil exports. These sales dwarf natural gas sales. https://energyandcleanair.org/february-2025-monthly-analysis-of-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/ https://energyandcleanair.org/february-2025-monthly-analysis...
