Europe isn’t exactly “innocent” either: in the first half of 2026, it bought &#036;6 billion worth of LNG from Russia—far more than the Russian-US diesel deal, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pointed out


> “This is still going on. Europe can’t do this. And then there’s this diesel deal, which caused Europe to panic so much. I understand all of that to some extent. I raised an eyebrow for a moment too, but meanwhile, in the first half of this year, Europe bought &#036;6 billion worth of LNG from Russia. That’s much more than that diesel deal will ever bring in. So Europe isn’t exactly innocent either.”
