Increased Russian Gas Imports to Belgium Despite EU Sanctions
NATURAL GAS
European sanctions against Russia have led to an increase in Russian gas imports to Belgium, particularly through the Zeebrugge terminal, contrary to expectations following the ban on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports outside Europe. Additionally, the UK government has issued a final warning to oligarch Roman Abramovich, demanding he transfer £2.5 billion (€2.85 billion) from the Chelsea FC sale to a humanitarian aid fund for Ukraine within 90 days, or face legal action.
