Several major pipelines that previously carried Russian natural gas (not LNG) to Europe have ceased or have severely limited operations.
Nord Stream 1 & 2: Both of these pipelines, running under the Baltic Sea to Germany, were damaged by explosions in September 2022 and are now inoperable.
Ukrainian transit route: Transit of Russian gas through Ukraine to the EU largely ended in January 2025 after Kyiv did not renew its transit contract.
TurkStream: This pipeline, which runs through the Black Sea, is one of the few remaining conduits for Russian gas to reach Europe, mainly supplying Hungary and Slovakia in Central and Southern Europe.
Europe's shift to LNG
In response to the disruption of Russian pipeline gas supplies, the EU rapidly increased its capacity to receive LNG.
The U.S. has become the EU's largest LNG supplier, accounting for 45% of total EU LNG imports in 2024.
Between 2022 and 2024, the EU commissioned 12 new LNG terminals and expanded six others, increasing its import capacity.
For the first time in the first quarter of 2025, the EU imported more LNG than pipeline gas.

Though EU seems to be stuck with trump for oil deliveries, he won't disrupt Big Oil over his support for putin. For him it's just business.
