The war between Russia and Ukraine has put in check the distribution of natural gas, on which many European countries depend largely for Russian exports.
It should be noted that the gas arriving in Europe from Russia is done through the network of gas pipelines as North Stream, which is directly connected to Germany by the Baltic Sea that passes through Belarus and Poland; or the Ukrainian Corridor, which runs through Ukraine.
Nord Stream 2 would also join, with the intention of increasing the flow of fuel, but it has been paralyzed after Moscow recognized the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk.
To which countries does Russia export its gas?
40% of the natural gas imported by the European Union comes from Russia, we are talking about 6,600 billion cubic meters, which is distributed among the entire block of 27.
Thus, according to Statista, until 2020, the countries most subject to Russian gas sales were: Bulgaria (77%), Germany with 49% of its imports, Italy (46%), Poland (40%) and France (24%); although they were surpassed by territories such as Latvia (93%), Finland (94%) and 100% by Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. To a lesser extent were: the Netherlands (11%), Romania (10%) and Georgia (6%)
