“Payment in the proper form will be the basis for the continuation of supplies,” Peskov said, answering the question of whether it is possible to restore gas supplies to those who refused to pay in rubles if they change their mind.
Bloomberg, citing a source, said that four European buyers of Russian gas have already paid Gazprom in rubles.
According to the interlocutor, ten European companies have opened accounts with Gazprombank to make payments in accordance with the new procedure.
On April 27, Gazprom announced a complete suspension of gas supplies to the Bulgarian Bulgargaz and the Polish PGNiG due to non-payment in rubles.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov called Gazprom's decision to suspend gas supplies to the country blackmail.
