Thus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine commented on the fact of record imports of Russian LNG by EU countries in 2024.

“There is enough LNG on the market not to finance the criminal Russian regime with its aggression, war crimes and hybrid attacks,” the head of the foreign ministry emphasized.
