From March 2022 to July 2026, European Union countries paid Russia around €197 billion or approximately US$209 billion for fossil fuels.
Just keep offering up kibbles in the palm of your hand to the wolf hellbent on eating you, that is definitely going to work out for you Europe!
Most of that is from the time just after the invasion. In August the EU bought 1.2billion€ worth of fossil fuel energy from Russia. That is still going down, with LNG imports being fully banned in a bit over two months.
That doesn’t seem to include uranium imports.
Do you know how those developed?
Down by about half if leveled across months. And august is a warm month.
Although it doesn’t change your conclusion : typo ? not 1.2 * 10e6 but … *10e9 (€) ? (from your ref. : … )

Yeah sorry.
Your conclusion remains true, thanks for posting.
