Which European country is most dependent on Russian gas?  

According to a study by the think tank Brugel, Spain is currently the country most dependent on Russian gas in the entire European Union due to the ships that continue to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Spanish ports almost daily. The digital newspaper El Confidencial, citing data from the Enagás company, underlines that in the year 2021 Spain obtained 8.9% of its energy supplies from Russia. And so far, nothing new, except that in 2022 the figure rose to 12.1%. Ever increasing.

For example, in the first 6 months of 2023, the European country has already received almost as much from Moscow as in all of 2021. Thus, Russia has moved from Spain's fourth supplier to second, behind the USA, which corresponds to 19% of entries .The country suffers from a severe shortage due to the interruption of flows from gas pipelines to Europe. Assessing how much domestic demand depends on Siberian liquefied gas, experts found that Spain relied more on Russian LNG than other European states last winter, followed by France, at 15%, and Belgium, at 10%. Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Germany won't supply long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, for fear that they will be used directly against Russia.

The same German chancellor said during an interview with the ARD television channel that Germany will not supply Taurus long-range cruise missiles, in order to prevent the Ukrainian armed forces from using them for direct attacks against Russia."For us there is a principle that I share with the American president: we do not want the weapons we supply to be used to strike Russian territories," the chancellor said.

At the end of May it was the Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov who invited Germany to supply Taurus cruise missiles.This type of missile, of German-Swedish production, has a range of 500 km, and can carry out high-precision attacks without a transport aircraft entering enemy territory, thus making itself vulnerable to flak.

Meanwhile, at the beginning of the month, the United Kingdom supplied Ukraine with a batch of Storm Shadow missiles, with guarantees that they would not be used against targets "on the sovereign territory of the former Soviet republic", as reported by CNN.Since then, the Kiev regime has spared no effort in using these weapons against Lugansk and other territories.
