🚨 JUST IN: RUSSIA IS SLASHING LNG PRICES TO MOVE SANCTIONED CARGOES
🇷🇺 Russia is reportedly offering LNG from U.S.-sanctioned facilities to South Asian buyers at discounts of up to 40% below spot prices as it races to offload cargoes into Asia.
⚠️ The deal flow is reportedly being pushed through little-known intermediary firms in China and Russia, with sellers even offering paperwork that could make cargoes appear to come from other countries instead of Russia.
🔥 This comes as the global gas market stays tight, giving Moscow a chance to attract desperate buyers despite sanctions. Russia has already been redirecting more LNG toward Asia, even as shipping costs, contract limits, and sanctions make that pivot harder.
📈 Bottom line: cheap Russian LNG is back on the table for Asia — and if buyers keep taking discounted sanctioned cargoes, it could reshape regional energy flows while putting more pressure on Western sanctions enforcement.
