I'd expand:

Most Baltic basin states, except Germany sort of, benefit by reduced reliance of Europe on Russian gas. Russia is constantly making threats to all of it's neighbours in that region but keeps discord in Europe via the gas blackmail. Similar story for Ukraine.

Western Europe - it's also not inconceivable. For example France is a net exporter of energy to Germany, and probably also doesn't like the Russian gas blackmail (while being less susceptible to it herself).

So literally anyone has some kind of incentive. Except perhaps Germany. You could still argue that Germany benefits in the long run as that reliance is bad for them, as it turns out, but it's harder to see them going cold turkey on themselves.



Let's not forget about Turkey and Qatar! China is also reexporting Russian gas to Europe.

My bet is on India tough! /sarcasm

Please, stop speculating without any basis. You can make a case for basically anyone who trades gas or had any issues with Russia.

...is my point. I'm not speculating, merely saying basically anyone could benefit, so that alone tells you nothing.
