Article implies the imports are illegal or circumventing sanctions. But there are no sanctions on import for existing contracts. Article does mention the ban on short term contracts, but that is to curb some of the opportunic contracts in prep of the full ban starting Jan 2027. Article conveniently forgets to mention that upcoming full ban measure. And of course, part of the high price and inflated volume is due to Putins biggest cheerleader. Which the article also doesn't mention. Bullshit article.

It's just more American agitprop trying to make the EU look hypocritical.
