“The meeting of the Supreme Court of Chechnya on the appeal of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Grozny to the decision of the Factory Court of Grozny to write off debts for gas to residents of the republic is scheduled for March 7, 11:45 Moscow time,” the agency’s source said.

On February 6, Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Grozny filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of Chechnya against the decision of the Grozny District Court to write off the debts for the gas of the residents of the region.

On January 18, it became known that the Grozny District Court ordered Gazprom to write off the debts of the population of Chechnya for gas, since the debt had become “hopeless to recover”. The company announced its intention to appeal the decision.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called the talk of the “forgiven” republic 9 billion rubles baseless.
