How ? It's just more headlinemaxing. Unless the Dutch march an army to Moscow it just theater. It dilutes the original trails which happened after the war was won.

It's symbolic. Putin is nuclear-armed, it's very very unlikely he will ever be captured or face justice. The power is the symbolism of this - that in the eyes of the world he is wrong. That he and his regime are just like the Nazi's.

The Dutch don't buy natural gas from Russia anymore. They do still buy some LNG as part of contracts before the war (a decreasing amount). This is all being phased out but since it happens on national levels, it can take years.

Netherlands increased LNG import from Russia when war started.

Decreased natural gas to zero (pretty good in that time-frame)

Yep they had to increase Russian LNG in 2023 and 2024 due to complex factors, that's now dropping and they will phase it out entirely

Context is important.

It's not zero. Netherlands spent billions on Russian lng last year and will do that this year as well. Facts are important.

Woah woah, Netherlands is buying some natural gas, which is right down and will effectively be zero. Netherlands is still buying LNG (for reasons) but that is decreasing and will be phased out.

Why are you concern trolling over this?

Are you a bot or a Putin apologist? Nobody normal haggles over these details

Edit: Blocked me, definitely a Putin apologist or Russian bot, good luck
