This is reported by the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.

As noted by the publication, the risk of cessation of supply is considered "real".

According to Helsingin Sanomat, by May 20, the Finnish state gas company Gasum must tell Gazprom whether it accepts the terms of payment for Russian gas in rubles.

Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that some European companies importing Russian natural gas agreed to the payment scheme proposed by Moscow, but not everyone is honest about it.

The head of the Energy Development Fund, Sergei Pikin, in an interview with Nation News spoke about the prospects for cooperation between Russia and the EU.
