Due to Russia’s war against Ukraine and the rejection of European countries from the aggressor country’s energy resources, Gazprom’s exports will drop by a third.
Russian Gazprom could lose nearly one-third of its gas exports to Europe this year, Reuters wrote on Friday, April 22nd.
The publication recalls that Russia costs almost 40% of gas supplies to Europe, but due to the invasion of Ukraine, EU countries are actively reducing its purchases.
The decision to charge “unfriendly” countries for selling gas in rubles also contributed to the decline in imports, analysts said, as Europe said it was “blackmail” and almost unanimous. refused to comply.
According to experts, Gazprom’s supplies to Europe could be reduced by 40-45 billion cubic meters this year from approximately 150 billion cubic meters in 2021. It is assumed that the fall will be even greater.
It should be noted that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz today said that Russia’s ban on gas imports will not end the war against Ukraine. He argued why he did not allow the introduction of a Russian gas embargo.
By the way, in the new package of EU sanctions against the Russian Federation, so far we are only talking about the decline of Russia’s oil.
