An investigation by Sky News journalist Ed Conway has revealed that British companies are playing a significant role in helping Russia export its gas, generating billions of euros for Vladimir Putin's war effort. Despite the European Union's efforts to reduce dependency on Russian pipeline gas, it has been partially replaced by Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). European LNG buyers have cut back their imports this year as the gas market strengthens, but Asia is outbidding Europe for LNG. This situation highlights the ongoing complexities and challenges in the global energy market and the effectiveness of sanctions against Russia. Conway's shaming report underscores the gaps in sanctions enforcement.
