Trade with Russia before and after

It bought €0.17bn from Russia in 2021 and €0.12bn in 2025 (−28%). It sold €9m to Russia in 2021 and €4m in 2025. For Honduras: €32m paid above no-war prices, most of it in 2022, 71% of it on gas contracts. These are sales values at each year's prices; the totals count what the seller kept on them.

Sanctions on Russia

We found no sanctions of Honduras' own against Russia (checked 27 October 2026). This says nothing about whether firms there follow other countries' sanctions. Russia's list of “unfriendly” states does not name Honduras. Checked 27 October 2026.
