Despite sanctions, European countries, including France, have significantly increased their purchases of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), with record supply volumes recorded in European ports.
Background

Energy trade, particularly natural gas, has been a key component of Russia's economy and a significant import for European nations, leading to ongoing debates and policy shifts regarding energy security and supply.
