21.9 billion euros is the cost of Russian energy supplies to the EU in 2024, despite all Western sanctions. Over the same period, the EU allocated 18.7 billion euros to help Ukraine, the British The Guardian states.

Russia earned 242 billion euros in 2024 from global exports of fossil fuels, and revenues have been approaching a trillion euros since the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict.
