FWIW, less than it did before 2022. Total value is zero indication of even gross profit, oil costs real money to get Thatof the ground, process in the field then ship via long pipelines.

Your "big" numbers are 18% of the imports in 2024. You have zero clue about economics, its obvious as phuck.
You are no different than some feminist yelling about men being rapists and murders because some happen annually by small percentage of male population.
Three paragraphs and you still did not address his post. Is Europe importing ever increasing quantities of Gas or not?

Key Takeaways:
US and Russian delegations met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on March 24 following US–Ukrainian talks on March 23 about the details of temporary ceasefires on long-range strikes and in the Black Sea.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Demidovka along the international border in northwestern Belgorod Oblast amid ongoing Ukrainian attacks in the area.
The Kremlin is recirculating existing narratives aimed at undermining support for Ukraine amid the negotiations in Riyadh and likely remains uninterested in conducting meaningful negotiations to end the war.
Russia continues to persecute religious minorities, especially Evangelical Christian communities in occupied Kherson Oblast as part of a wider campaign in occupied Ukraine aimed at destroying independent Ukrainian national and religious identities.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Belgorod Oblast and near Toretsk and Pokrovsk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Siversk, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka.
Russian forces are reportedly failing to adequately provision first person view (FPV) drone units amid ongoing efforts to centralize Russian drone operations under the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).

The clueless cucks who don't know shiite from shinola about basic arithmetic think that is all money for Russia's war effort. If that is the case then everyone in Russia is working as a slave and doesn't even get fed.
So is Russia selling at pawn shop prices and getting less than cost or what? It's the not the big $ number than matters.

We had NAFO trolls saying the other day this strike was not a military target. Wrong Again...Not only did they have Ukrainian Soldiers here but they had alot of ammunition that was being stored.

Those nukes were Soviet nukes prior to the collapse of the USSR.
There was great concern that a Ukraine nuke could end up sold on the black market to terrorists. Thus the promises to guarantee Ukraine's independence if they gave up the nukes.
I guess they should have kept the nukes rather than trusting America's promise.
I was intensely aware of that time period since the company I worked for sent teams to the USSR to meet with high ranking Soviet media people who were seeking help to produce a Western style media company. They all knew that the collapse was near.

Sumy update. Link has photo gallery.
Missile strike on Sumy: Number of injured rises to 94, including 23 children
24.03.2025 22:52
A Russian missile strike on Sumy has left 94 people injured, including 71 adults and 23 children.
That's according to the Sumy City Council, Ukrinform reports.
"According to updated data from the health department, 23 children have been injured," the statement reads.
Preliminary reports indicate damage to 26 buildings, including three schools, a kindergarten, a vocational training center, an interschool training complex, a hospital, 16 residential buildings (on Leonida Bykova, Ivana Vyhovskoho, Remisnycha, Metalurhiv, and Polska streets), a restaurant and entertainment complex, a car service, and an administrative building of a private company.
The blast shattered over 3,000 windows, damaged roofs on eight apartment buildings and four private homes, and left four apartment buildings in need of major roof repairs.

Is this part of the 7000 soldiers encircled by Russia? Whatever happened there?

For example 2 metric tons would be a larger amount than 1 metric ton.

Ukraine wants security guarantees for ports, including Kherson, said OP advisor Serhii Leshchenko.
The talks in Arabia discussed the security of shipping in the Black Sea. Ukraine is ready for commitments in case of "good will" from the russian federation.
In turn, the russians say that they will need clear guarantees when resuming the Black Sea initiative.

Additionally, a joint statement following yesterday's U.S.-Russia negotiations in Riyadh was not adopted due to "Ukraine's position."
It was the year 2025, and Russia was demanding security guarantees from the U.S. to protect itself from Ukraine. Nothing special.

The joint statement following the negotiations between the US and the russian federation was not adopted because of Ukraine's position, said Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee of the russian federation's Federal Assembly, Chizhov.
According to him, the delegations discussed the document for 12 hours and supposedly agreed on the text, but Ukraine allegedly blocked its adoption.

Doesn't matter, still down by a lot from pre 2022. They had a spike in 2022 when traders panicked for no reason, which is very normal. Sure LNG is up but natural gas is down overall by a lot. Same with refined products which is where Russia made more profit than crude oil. Why it purchased western refining technology in the 2000's to modernize its old inefficient refineries.
How did you pass 3rd grade arithmetic?

And all of these buildings housed Ukrainian soldiers, tthanks, artillery shells and ammo, right?

Unfortunately we got into this when wf pledged to help Ukraine in order to remove their nukes so we are in it.
Even if we had given aid at a 90-10 Europe to US ratio, we have helped Ukraine. We fulfilled our obligation because the obligation wasn't concrete. In actuality just telling Russia "oh no, don't do that. Ukraine is a sovereign nation" fulfills our obligation because there are no concrete obligations other than we must "respect their sovereignty".
This will get downvoted but I am 100% correct here. Read the document and tell me I'm wrong.
If we had aid at a 80-20 or a 90-10 ratio yes we would be sending less than we have.. But I think Europe's spending should be WAY up, so thats still a significant amount of aid from the US.

Russia standing at a distance and firing artillery (where they have a 9 to 1 advantage), glide bombs, drones, and missiles, well that would tell any sane person that ukraine is losing far more people than Russia.
The attacker ALWAYS loses more than the defender unless the defender is completely technologically outmatched.
I've seen the ratio being something around 1.75-2 Russian losses for every Ukrainian loss. So yeah, Russia is losing a lot. But not enough to outpace Ukraine's losses.
For context I think you're looking for something like a 3-5 to 1 ratio as a defender ideally. Ukraine is well below that.
