I see that you are (technically ) correct and I concede that some countries are taking some LNG , not sdure how much now .
but to put things in perspective .....
"
Shipments to Europe and Asia have allowed Russia to keep its exports of LNG at record high levels. Almost 80 percent of Russian LNG exports have gone to Europe and Asia. The countryshipped an average of 2.78m tons of LNG per month in 2022, up from 2.62 million in 2021 and 2.56 million in 2019."
Now sounds like a LOT of gas but ...Nordstream 1 alone had a capacity of
26.4 mtonnes . 10 times that figure you quoted .
You cannot shift anywhere near as much LNG by ship as you can by pipeline and what Europe is taking from russia is only a portinon of the 2.78m tonnes - I imagine most going to China Indaia etc
And ...what Europe are taking will be the icing on the cake , only a very small percentage of their needs as we already know where most of the gas is coming from Norway ,North Africa ,Azerbaijan ,US and Qatar .
So while I concede a techicality , no great trade for putin in terms of quantity or significance .
H heas only so many ships and LNG trains and both limmit drastically quantity of LNG russia can export .
