European Union gas imports of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) increased by 16% during the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year, with the rise amounting to approximately $6.9 billion. Despite the EU's plans to reduce dependence on Russian gas by implementing an outright ban on imports starting next year, supply disruptions in the Middle East have led some European countries—such as France, Belgium, and Spain—to boost their purchases of Russian gas to compensate for shortages. The EU faces significant challenges in filling its storage reserves before winter, as storage levels have dropped to their lowest since 2009 amid concerns over insufficient supplies due to dwindling inventories and rising demand. Gazprom has stated that the lack of reserves threatens Europe's energy security during the cold season, noting that gas stockpiles have fallen by 17.3% compared to last year. This decrease increases the likelihood of relying more heavily on alternative sources and complicates efforts to meet the region's energy needs.
