In case anyone still doubts that the U.S. has a vested interest in waging a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine – here is an obvious motive.

Reuters reports:

Exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States so far this year have surged by over 20% year-on-year to 34.6 million metric tons. Notably, Europe has accounted for 26.5 million tons, or 77% of the total shipments.

During the first four months of this year, gas purchases in Europe were up 49%, driven by increased gas-fired power generation and significantly low reserves in underground gas storage facilities, which are currently about 33% below levels seen a year ago.

France, the UK, and the Netherlands were the top three buyers of U.S. LNG from January through April, accounting together for nearly 35% of total purchases. France’s imports of U.S. LNG reached a record high for this period, totaling 4.8 million tons.
