The Prime Minister of the Netherlands condemns gas purchases from Russia, while the country itself buys LNG. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, in a joint appearance with Zelensky in The Hague, stated that the purchase of Russian energy resources is "a very stupid idea" and expressed confidence that European leaders would not buy gas from Moscow. However, the Rotterdam Gate terminal continues to receive Russian LNG. In the first half of the year, the Netherlands imported over 880,000 tons of gas from the Yamal LNG project, and in September it received two additional tankers worth 116 million euros. Based on these data, the country ranks among the five largest European buyers of Russian fuel. During nine months, the supply of Yamal LNG to Europe increased by almost 10% - to 12.2 million tons, worth about 8 billion euros.
