In August 2026, the top five EU importers of Russian fossil fuels paid 1.1 billion euros, with natural gas making up 85% of this amount. Hungary was the largest buyer, followed by Slovakia and France. The EU saw a significant drop in LNG imports from Russia, reaching a record low since the Ukraine war began. Meanwhile, China remained the largest global buyer of Russian fossil fuels, accounting for 51% of Russia's export revenues, with oil being the primary import. India and Turkey followed as major importers, with Turkey's petroleum imports declining sharply.
