EU to block Russian LNG from 2027: Moscow seeks new routes and markets
The EU embargo on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), taking effect January 1, 2027, will force Russia to redirect exports from the Yamal project — until now 81 percent of supplies went to Europe, with Europe paying 8.7 billion euros for this gas between January and October 2026. Moscow will have to find new buyers, primarily in Asia, meaning longer and costlier routes. Analysts point to possible growth in black market trading and so-called virtual swaps — Russia would sell gas to Turkey or China, which would in turn increase their own exports to Europe.

Czyli przez te wszystkie lata płaciliśmy im miliardy i dopiero teraz się ogarniamy, żeby to zakończyć. Dwa i pół roku na dostosowanie się to sporo czasu — tyle że Rosja też te dwa i pół roku wykorzysta na znalezienie nowych odbiorców. Ciekawe czy za trzy lata będziemy świętować to embargo jako wielki sukces, czy okaże się że po prostu zmienili klienta.

as usual we wait until 2027 to do something that probably should have happened years ago, and in the meantime europe keeps handing over billions like nothing is wrong. of course russia already has "new routes and markets" lined up, they always do. we act surprised every single time.
