A study conducted by the CREA center shows that after the start of the war, the EU countries remain the largest consumers of Russian energy resources, according to the British edition of the Financial Times.
Thus, Germany imported hydrocarbons from the Russian Federation for more than 9 billion euros in two months, and Italy – almost 7 billion euros.
This is mainly natural gas supplied through pipelines. At the same time, China, which occupies the third position, buys mainly oil.
In addition, the Netherlands and France, as well as Turkey, remain major buyers of Russian energy resources.
