“The decrease attributable to volumes sold on international markets was mainly due to the decrease of Yamal LNG shareholders’ share, including NOVATEK’s share, of LNG volumes sold on the spot market, and a corresponding increase in Yamal LNG direct sales under long-term contracts,” it said.

Data shows that Russia sold 19.56 bcm of natural gas, 7.2% more than in the first quarter of 2020. The volume of LNG sales to international markets amounted to 1.87 bcm.
