This was stated by TASS by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova, commenting on the restrictions of Brussels, limiting the transit of LNG.

The EU ban in the framework of the 14th package of sanctions on the transit of Russian LNG through European ports in third countries will enter into force after 9 months.
