Russia supplies first LNG to Italy, LSEG data shows
MOSCOW, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Russian energy giant Gazprom has delivered its first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Italy from LNG Portovaya plant on the Baltic Sea, LSEG data showed on Wednesday.
Gazprom's pipeline gas supplies to Italy plummeted since 2022 after the military conflict in Ukraine, while sea-borne LNG supplies have been on the rise.
