The EU in the second quarter of this year imported gas from Russia in volumes exceeding supplies from the US, Welt reports.
Such data, in particular, is cited by the consulting company Bruegel.
According to the information provided, in the second quarter of the year, the US sent 12.27 billion cubic metres of liquefied natural gas by tankers to buyers in the EU. Russia supplied about 12.73 billion cubic metres of gas.
Norbert Röttgen, a member of the German Bundestag, was outraged by this state of affairs. The fact that the EU is ‘allowing Russia’ to become a major gas exporter to Europe again ‘is a scandal,’ he said.
