Gazprom Export continues to demand that Ørsted pay for gas supplies in rubles... The payment deadline is May 31, and Ørsted will continue to pay in euros.
Thus, there is a risk that Gazprom Export will stop supplying gas to Ørsted.
In our understanding, this would be a breach of contract,” the company said in a statement.
Earlier, Russia stopped gas supplies to Finland.
The Finnish Ministry of Employment and Economy noted that the reason was Helsinki's refusal to pay for gas in rubles.
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.
