Monthly natural gas imports from Russia to the EU 2021-2023
In May 2023, the European Union (EU) imported nearly 2.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia. That was slightly less than in the previous month and less than a third of the import volume in May 2021. Over the observed period, the imports peaked at approximately 8.2 billion cubic meters in March 2022, a month after Russia invaded Ukraine.
