Funny... how they always -just accidently of course- forget the context in these reports.

Yes, LNG increased from basically nothing (15mil m³) -because they used pipelines- to 22mil m³.

At the same time pipeline gas was shut down with capacities going to the hundered (just Nordstream 1 alone had a capacity of 50mil m³.

Also it's exactly the countries not getting pipeline gas before that are now buying LNG because it got cheap as fuck (the biggest importer is Spain with ~8mil m³ alone) as Russia is struggling to sell it at all.

The VIP of comments.

No one in the West wants to touch anything that benefits Russia atm, because to do so is self-defeating. This is not a result of choice, but of necessity. The EU are also making large strides towards NZ now. The individual countries will stop buying this gas at the earliest opportunity. Individual countries being pertinent as each country is responsible for their own energy supply.
