EU countries’ spending on Russian energy vs. aid to Ukraine (2022–2024)

A recent analysis of EU nations’ expenditures on Russian oil and gas imports compared to their financial, military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine reveals significant disparities.

Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands emerged as the top spenders on Russian energy, with Italy leading at 23.55 billion euros, followed by Hungary at 20.53 billion and the Netherlands at 20.14 billion. Their contributions to Ukraine, however, varied widely—Italy provided 2.26 billion, the Netherlands 7.33 billion, and Hungary just 0.05 billion.

Slovakia spent 12.75 billion euros on Russian oil and gas while extending 0.71 billion in aid to Ukraine. France’s Russian energy imports totaled 12.16 billion, yet its support for Ukraine reached 4.89 billion. Germany, which allocated 17.26 billion in aid, kept its Russian energy imports lower at 11.66 billion.

Several EU countries, including Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Romania, Lithuania, Slovenia and Portugal, allocated more funds to Russian energy imports than to Ukraine. In contrast, Finland, Latvia, Sweden, Estonia, Croatia, Austria and Denmark spent more on supporting Ukraine than on Russian energy supplies.

These findings highlight the varied approaches EU member states have taken in balancing their energy dependencies and commitments to Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
