Europe isn't exactly "innocent" either: in the first half of 2026, it bought $6 billion worth of LNG from Russia - far more than the Russian-US diesel deal, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte noted. "It's still going on. Europe can't do that. And then there's that diesel deal, which made Europe panic so much. I understand all of this to a certain extent. I also raised an eyebrow for a moment, but meanwhile, in the first half of the year, Europe bought $6 billion worth of LNG from Russia. That's a lot more than this diesel deal will ever bring. So Europe is not exactly innocent either."
