'Sheepish' EU Warns Members Over Russian LNG After Record Imports; 'Stop Purchasing...' | Details

The European Union has warned member nations against imports of Russian LNG. The EU has asked members to stop purchasing Russian liquefied natural gas. The European Union has also asked not to enter into new contracts for the fuel. The warning seems like damage control by the EU after recent "embarrassment." Data showed the EU’s imports of the fuel hit a record high in the first half of this year. The bloc bought over half (52%) of the 41.6 million cubic metres of LNG that Russia exported this year.
