According to the Bulletin on the Use of Gas Infrastructures for the third quarter of this year, published by the Energy Services Regulatory Entity (ERSE), until the end of September, at the Sines LNG terminal - the main infrastructure for the entry of natural gas into the national system – Russian gas represented 8.4% of the total received, the result of three methane tankers that unloaded in February, April and August.
In that period, Russia ranked third in the countries of origin of natural gas received in Sines, behind the United States of America (44.4% of the total) and Nigeria (44%), and just ahead of Trinidad & Tobago (3.2%).
In the same period of 2022, the year in which Russia invaded Ukraine and began to be the target of sanctions from the European Union, which promised to drastically cut gas imports from Moscow, Russian imports represented 7% of the total received in Sines, also a result of three ships received (March, April and August).
Between January and September last year, Nigeria was the main country of origin with 52% of total imports, followed by the United States of America (30%).

Glad that Portugal is supporting the Ukraine's struggle against Russia by providing a source of funding to Russia!

That sounds like hypocrisy, why is America importing nuclear fuel, and valuable and rare-earth metals from Russia?
Or the people of Portugal don't have the right to heat their homes and cook their food?

It's stupid to buy anything from Russia. Russia is toxic.

Why, Igor, is the US importing nuclear fuel and rare metals? Because no other country can provide them.
Plenty of other countries can and do provide natural gas to Portugal and the EU.
Nice try to denigrate the US, but they are is the largest funder of the Ukraine, double all of Europe combined, and Europe could be buying this natural gas from the US, the country that twice ended European started wars and rebuilt Europe under the Marshall Plan.
And before your attack me, the above are facts, and I am from Denmark.

Thank you Portugal News for being on the lookout for these odd occurences. This is shameful to all Portuguese and those involved should be prosecuted, particularly the businesses pressing for the imports to go ahead. Shine a light on those individuals so everyone knows who is behind this.
