During nine months of 2026, Russia increased LNG exports by 7%, Vodibi writes, citing an International Energy Agency report. The increase is mainly due to shipments from the Arctic LNG-2 project to China, while supplies to the EU fell by 30% in the third quarter. Starting in 2027, the EU introduces a ban on the import of Russian aircraft under long-term contracts, and pipeline gas supplies will stop completely in the fourth quarter of 2027.
