Russia’s EU LNG shipments were reported at 6.9 billion cubic meters in the first three months of 2026 , which a report said was a record first- quarter high since the Ukraine war began and was linked to the energy shock after the Iran war started.

What that means

  • The figure in the available reporting is for the EU specifically , not all of Russia’s global LNG exports.
  • The report does not give a full worldwide total for Russian LNG shipped since the start of the Iran war.
  • Reuters’ broader coverage says the Iran turmoil has reshaped energy and shipping flows over the first three months, but the specific LNG number available here is the EU import figure above.

Bottom line

Based on the public reporting I found, the clearest number is 6.9 bcm of Russian LNG imported by the EU in Q1 2026.

If you want, I can also break this down into monthly volumes, exports by destination, or compare it with pre-war levels.
