MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. Russia supplied $21.3 billion worth of energy resources to Europe in the first nine months of 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with the Vesti news program.

"Regarding 2026, according to the Energy Ministry, $21.3 billion worth of energy resources has already been supplied to Europe in just the first nine months. In other words, despite sanctions restrictions, our energy resources continue to be supplied along specific routes where exceptions have been made," he noted.

Novak emphasized that Russia continues to fulfill its contractual obligations. "It is not our fault that the share of exports to the European Union has changed significantly in recent years. However, we are supplying what our European counterparts want," he said.
