The Kremlin reaped around €8.10 billion in tax revenues from European energy companies importing Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) between 2022 and 2024, according to new research published on Tuesday by Greenpeace.
The EU moved to close the tap to Russian pipeline gas after Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine, but shipments of LNG remained at 12.8 billion cubic meters (bcm) in the first half of the year, a figure 67% higher compared to four years ago.
