Media: Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the EU has bought Russian gas for €32.7 billion

From February 2022, the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to March 2025, the European Union bought significant amounts of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) worth 32.7 billion euros, the Stern weekly portal reported on Friday. LNG worth around 95.1 billion was imported to Germany from the United States during this period.

This follows from Eurostat data that the left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) party requested from the German Federal Statistical Office and which were made available to Stern.

In the first quarter of 2025, Russian LNG imports amounted to EUR 2.7 billion, significantly more than in the same quarter of the previous year – EUR 1.8 billion.

“This is the double standard of sanctions policy,” BSW chief Sahra Wagenknecht told Stern. “33 billion euros have been spent on Russian LNG since the beginning of the war, but in Germany, Russian pipeline gas is considered taboo,” she added. The result is “high energy prices that make citizens poorer,” Wagenknecht assessed.

The chairwoman of the European Parliament's security and defence committee, liberal FDP politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, believes that "it is absolutely unacceptable that three years after the start of Putin's brutal war, the European Union is still buying billions of euros worth of liquefied natural gas from Russia."

“Every euro we pay for Russian LNG helps finance Putin’s war machine,” Strack-Zimmermann told Stern. The politician called on the European Commission and EU countries to introduce a ban on Russian LNG imports.

The portal of the daily "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" noted in the context of these data that during the same period "the EU and its member states supported Ukraine with military aid worth a total of around 50 billion euros."

LNG was brought to Germany from the USA with a value of about 95.1 billion.

This is due to Eurostat data, for which the leftist party alliance Sahry Wagenknecht (BSW) turned to the German Federal Statistical Office and which were made available to "Stern".

In the first quarter of 2025, the import of Russian LNG amounted to EUR 2.7 billion, much more than in the same quarter of the previous year - EUR 1.8 billion.

"This is a double morality of sanction policy," BSW head Sahra Wagenknecht told "Stern". "EUR 33 billion has been spent on Russian LNG since the beginning of the war, but in Germany Russian pipeline gas is considered taboo," she added. The result is "high energy prices that make citizens poorer," Wagenknecht said.

The chairwoman of the Security and Defense Committee in the European Parliament, the policy of the Liberal FDP Party Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann believes that "it is absolutely unacceptable, that three years after the start of Putin's brutal war, the European Union still buys liquefied natural gas from Russia worth billions of euros."

"Each euro that we pay for Russian LNG helps to finance Putin's war machine," said Strack-Zimmermann "Sternu". The politician called on the European Commission and the EU countries to introduce a ban on the Russian imports of LNG.

In the context of this data, the portal of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" drew in the context of this data that in the same period "the EU and its Member States supported Ukraine with military with a total value of about 50 billion euros."
