EU imports of Russian LNG continue to fall months ahead of an anticipated ban, but Moscow nevertheless accounted for 100% of Belgium's LNG imports in July, reveals the latest analysis by energy think tank CREA, published Aug. 10.
The report mentions that across France, Spain, and Belgium, Russian LNG imports plummeted by a combined 46%, and globally Moscow earned 36% less on LNG than it had in July.
However, "Belgium sourced all of its LNG imports in July from Russia," claims the Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
Belgium, France, and Bulgaria rounded out the top five EU countries importing Russian fossil fuels.
The EU agreed in Jan. 2026 to a full ban on Russian LNG imports from the beginning of 2027 and on pipeline gas imports by the autumn of that year.
