“The EU was the fourth largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels in December, their imports accounting for 17 per cent (EUR 2.5 bn) of the top five purchasers. LNG comprised the largest share of the EU’s purchases of Russia’s fossil fuels (39 per cent), followed by pipeline gas (38 per cent),” according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea).

Pipeline gas was flowing mostly via Ukraine, which has been cut off. LNG is really stupid though.
