“This week, Poland refused to pay for gas supplies from Russia under the new procedure, in rubles.

It was solemnly announced that Russian gas is no longer needed and will not be bought.

But in fact, this is not so, ”TASS quotes him as saying.

Kupriyanov noted that Warsaw continues to buy Russian gas in reverse from Germany via the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline.

“The volume of reverse is about 30 million cubic meters.

m per day – almost exactly corresponds to the applications under the contract with Gazprom Export in previous days,” he stressed.

Earlier, Gazprom announced a complete suspension of gas supplies to the Bulgarian Bulgargaz and the Polish PGNiG due to non-payment in rubles.

Alexander Razuvaev, a member of the Supervisory Board of the Guild of Financial Analysts and Risk Managers, said in an interview with PolitExpert that countries depend on Russian gas.

Without it, there will be a recession in Poland and Bulgaria, rising unemployment, as well as a decline in industrial performance.
