“We have taken note of the decree of the President (of Russia Vladimir Putin. -

) and are currently analyzing the situation in detail,” RIA Novosti reports a message from a Wintershall press service representative.

Earlier, Putin approved a ban on Gazprom until October 1, 2023, to buy gas and services from joint ventures with the Austrian OMV and the German Wintershall Dea at a price higher than the price set by the government.

The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that restrictions for Gazprom on buying gas from joint ventures with European structures are a response to the actions of unfriendly countries.
