Gazprom exported 100.9bn cubic metres of gas to countries outside the former Soviet Union," the company’s statement quoted Miller as saying. Gas production fell by about 20% compared to 2021 and exports dropped by 45.5%. According to the latest data, 243bn cubic metres of gas were supplied to domestic consumers. "Our priority goal is to ensure gas supplies to Russian customers. We confidently achieved it, as always," Miller emphasised.
Gazprom's exports to the EU will reach 100.9bcm in 2022. This represents a decrease of 45% compared to 185.1 bcm in 2021. The halving of supplied to the EU that will buy more LNG and gas from North Africa and Norway is hurting Russia's geopolitical ambitions.
