Ukraine's invasion of the Kursk region led to an increase in Russia's income from gas sales to the EU
The cost of a thousand cubic meters of gas in Europe has increased by 19% since the beginning of August, to $435. Euractiv notes that despite the fact that Europe has done a lot to reduce energy imports from Russia, the rise in gas prices caused by the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has revealed the fact that European money continues to flow into Russia.
Due to shelling by Ukrainian troops at the Sudzha gas distribution station in the Kursk region, which is the main transit route for Russian gas to the EU, traders increased prices in anticipation of a reduction in supplies. Russia's gas revenues should rise by 13% over the past week.
