Lithuanian Energy Minister Dainius Kravis said that the Baltic countries will look for a solution to stop the import of liquefied petroleum gas from Russia to the Baltic countries, which more than doubled last year.
“European Truth” writes about this, the Delfi portal reports.
According to the minister, he discussed it on Thursday with the Minister of Climate and Energy of Latvia, Raimonds Chudars.
“We came to a consensus that liquefied petroleum gas should not be imported into the three Baltic countries. This, as I said, is the decision of the three Baltic countries because there are no European sanctions on it,” Kravis said.
“Latvia’s position is also similar, so we will look for joint solutions on how to move forward,” he added.
At the end of January, the Reuters agency reported that Russian exports of liquefied gas to the Baltic countries increased from 159,000 tons last year to 331,000 tons compared to 2021, while exports to Latvia increased by 77% to 232,000 tons, to Lithuania – in 8.5 times, up to 72 thousand tons, and to Estonia – by 42%, up to 27 thousand tons.
As reported, the government of the Netherlands is working on a complete shutdownimport of liquefied natural gas from Russia.
