Lithuania, the Baltic states, announced on the 2nd of this month that it had completely stopped importing natural gas from Russia following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Energy of Lithuania said in a statement that it would be a historic turning point in energy self-sufficiency. I achieved independence from the government. "
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda also posted on Twitter, "There is no Russian gas in Lithuania from this month. If we can, we can do other countries in Europe," and import gas from Russia to other EU member countries. I called to stop.
Lithuania is becoming more vulnerable to this invasion of Ukraine, such as bordering Russia's entourage Kaliningrad, and will meet future demand with LNG = liquefied natural gas.
The EU is trying to diversify its sources by issuing a joint statement with the US government last month to clarify that it aims to receive additional supply in an attempt to break away from Russia's dependence on energy.
