Lists without numbers can be deceptive.

France imported 25.8 billion M3 of gas in 2020.

2.6 billion M3 of that came from Russia.

(This is pipeline gas. France also imported a bunch of liquified gas, mostly from Algeria).

Italy does import quite a lot more, 28.5 billion M3 out of some 60 billion M3 total.

Germany imports about 40 billion M3 of Russian gas.

So I think I’ll stick to my guns. It’s mostly a German problem (although Italy is worse off than I knew).

So, about ten percent for France. The thing about natural gas pipelines is they make delivery nearly real-time. And that can be an issue is it suddenly cuts off, like it did the Snowpocalypse that happened here in Texas last February.
