- mafribe 1y agoCould you give some evidence for this claim? Here is some counterevidence: [1] says that the top buyers of Russian energy include: • Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m) • Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m) • France: 157 million euros ($184m) • Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m) • Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m) [2] suggests that China and India are the main buyers. I don't how reliable those sources are. There is also the problem of how to classify 'laundered' oil that was bought and resold by, e.g. India.
