For the first time ever, the #US is supplying more natural #gas to #Europe than #Russia sends by pipelines, according to the International Energy Agency.
“Russia’s recent steep cuts in natural gas flows to the EU mean this is the first month in history in which the EU has imported more gas via LNG from the US than via pipeline from Russia,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a tweet.

The EU in March agreed on an additional 15 billion cubic meters of US LNG this year in a bid to displace Russian gas.
Russia ships about 150 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe via pipelines every year, and another 14 billion to 18 billion cubic meters of LNG.

Original news report in Russian from 13 June: the number of Russian regions registering economic growth decreased from 72 in February to 55 in March and 27 in April 2022. Two thirds were in recession in April.
Your reporting here is really poor. These are not "pro-Moscow authorities" of Kherson region in south Ukraine but the Russian occupation administrators. Please use the correct designations.
You name Kirill Stremousov a "deputy head of the Military-Civilian Administration". He is a local blogger and imposter. Ukrainian prosecutors initiated a criminal case against him on treason charges.
Honestly, @GuyReuters, I expected more scrutiny of Russian propaganda from you. TASS is a Russian propaganda outlet, it is NOT a genuine information provider.

1) The “military operation” is a preventive measure in order to prevent the full-scale aggression against Russia that is being prepared by Ukraine. 2) There was a real threat that Ukraine would use missile, nuclear and biological weapons against Russia.

3) Our cause is right. Russia does not start, but ends the 8-year war. 4) Pollster VTsIOM data show the support of the absolute majority of Russians.
