Simply put Russia has an inherent advantage in that already on that continent its supply lines can send LNG to Germany and elsewhere in Europe cheaper than importing from USA. Also new or increased infrastructure would need to be built at various European port cities to handle any (or rather more) LNG shipped from USA. Then more pipelines and or other capacity would be needed to get that LNG from port to end users.

Ports are generally liquefaction terminals where the gas is liquefied for export or regasification terminals where the already liquefied gas is stored and turned back in to gas.
There are quite a few regasification terminals in Europe and across the world which can already take US LNG.
List of LNG terminals - Wikipedia
London has a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal on the Isle of Grain, 37 miles (60 km) east of London. It has facilities for the offloading and reloading of LNG from ships at two jetties on the River Medway and is linked to the National Transmission System (NTS) is the network of gas pipelines. There is another large LNG Ports in Wales and a couple in Northern England and Scotland.
