The countries of the European Union finance the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine by buying energy from the Russian Federation. In total, European countries paid for 1.5 years of military operations by the Russian army.
Although the EU countries began to reduce their dependence on Russian energy after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, they still continue to import them. As of October 19, 2024, the total value of EU energy imports from Russia is 204 billion euros. For comparison, Russia's daily costs for the war are 36.6 million euros.
