MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. Russia will export 33 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by the end of the year, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

"This year, we expect that the total volume of liquefied natural gas supplies <...> will amount to about 33 million tons. This is already a fairly large volume," he said.

In 2023, according to the Federal Statistics Service (Rosstat), liquefied natural gas production in Russia amounted to 32.9 million tons.

"We have big projects ahead. New volumes are being built, and LNG supplies go to both European and Asian countries. The market here is quite competitive, and the number of countries that buy our LNG is quite large," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
