Germany receives Russian gas in the form of LNG, despite the formal refusal of direct supplies, the press service of the Russian Embassy in Berlin told Izvestia.

And in Belgrade they promise to deal with the supply of weapons to Kiev.

"The situation with gas is more complicated. Formally, the customs statistics do not contain information about pipeline gas or LNG imported into Germany. However, it is no secret that Russia ranks second after the United States in LNG exports to the EU, having supplied about 19 billion cubic meters in 2024. Part of this volume was re-exported to third countries, but the bulk ended up in Europe. The presence of "Russian gas molecules" in the German gas transportation system was even recognized by former Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economy Robert Habek," Russian diplomats told Izvestia.

Unlike their predecessors, the new German authorities articulate that there is no alternative to gas as a key energy source within the framework of the energy transition. At the same time, they are ready to shell out an order of magnitude more taxpayer funds for LNG supplies from the United States and the Middle East, in order to prevent the resumption of cooperation with Russia in the energy sector. This fully applies to the Nord Streams. This position is not close to everyone in Germany, but the primacy of politics over the economy is still indisputable, the press service of the Russian Embassy in Berlin told Izvestia.
