Putin states that Europe remains dependent on Russian gas despite EU attempts to cut it
The Russian President said that "Europe continues to receive liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia," despite the sanctions imposed by the European Union in response to the invasion of Ukraine. According to Putin, supplies account for 20% of the European hydrocarbon market, although it did not specify the routes through which the fuel arrives after the damage suffered by the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022. The President also held Europe responsible for its current economic difficulties in trying to reduce its energy dependence on Moscow.
