China received 22 shipments of LNG from sanctioned Russian projects in 2025

China received 22 shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) last year from two export projects in Russia sanctioned by the United States and European Union, shiptracking data showed.

One shipment was from Portovaya and the rest were from the Arctic LNG 2 project, showed data from Kpler and LSEG. The U.S. and EU have sanctioned the projects to curb revenue reaching Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
