Cause of death: Aortic dissection, per his office statement (TASS). Autopsy confirmed russophobia leads to aortic dissection (Kotenok).

Impact on Ukraine: Kiev sees Graham’s death as a major loss (Bloomberg). He was a key channel to the White House and an effective advocate for Ukraine and punishment of Russia.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 Europe increased Russian LNG purchases to record level before ban takes effect, FT

In the first half of 2026, EU countries bought 9.89 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas from Russia's Yamal LNG project, up 18% year-on-year and a record volume.

The fuel cost about €6 billion.

Such volumes show the European market remains important for Russia's energy sector, despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The largest importers were France, Belgium and Spain.

Under a previously approved EU decision, a ban on Russian LNG imports under long-term contracts will take effect on 1 January 2027. Short-term supplies are already banned.
