Lithuanian Energy Minister Dainius Kravis said that the Baltic countries will seek a solution to stop imports of liquefied petroleum gas from Russia to the Baltic countries, which more than doubled last year.
This is reported by the Delfi portal.
According to the minister, he discussed it on Thursday with Latvian Climate and Energy Minister Raimonds Chudars.
"We came to a consensus that liquefied petroleum gas should not be imported to the three Baltic countries. This, as I said, is the decision of the three Baltic countries, as there are no European sanctions against it," Kravis said.
"Latvia's position is also similar, so we will look for joint solutions on how to move forward," he added.
At the end of January, Reuters reported that Russian exports of liquefied natural gas to the Baltic countries last year increased from 159,000 tons to 331,000 tons in 2021, while exports to Latvia increased by 77% to 232,000 tons, Lithuania - by 8.5 times, up to 72 thousand tons, and Estonia - by 42%, up to 27 thousand tons.
