It's certainly at odds with Chris's graph which shows US imports ahead of those from Russia.
My main concern is that you can't extrapolate a trend from one data point, you need several quarters to do so. And when you do this you get an entirely different picture.
And the interviews and quotes are from Russia and Hungary. There's no quotes from other countries and there's no attempt to get beneath the statistics and discover if it's a blip or a trend. They're just taking this as an opportunity to knock the EU and the West.
It could have made the basis of a fascinating article as to whether this is a blip or a trend but instead it was used as the basis of pro-Russian propaganda.
