“At the same time, this week, on average, the applications of European consumers for the supply of Russian gas in transit through Ukraine increased by 43%,” he said on the Gazprom channel in Telegram.

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.

As noted in the Kremlin, "payment in the proper form" will be the basis for the continuation of deliveries.
