Abstract

This article analyzes the influence of the strategy for diversification of natural gas suppliers, proclaimed by the European Union, on the economy of an importer country and studies the prospects of development for Russian natural gas exports. Studying the case of Lithuania as an example, which simultaneously imports Russian gas and transfers it to Kaliningrad Oblast, opportunities and prospects for implementing the policy of diversifying exporters have been considered. The directions of policy adjustment for Russian gas exports under varying conditions have been discussed.
