“We must understand that Russia can turn off gas to all of Europe in one day,” he said.

According to Mathiesen, cases of cuts in gas supplies "are a sign that the current crisis could turn into a catastrophe."

On June 1, Gazprom confirmed the cessation of gas supplies to the Danish company Ørsted due to non-payment in rubles.

Gazprom also completely stopped gas supplies to Shell Energy Europe Limited due to non-payment in rubles.

The same measure affected the Dutch company GasTerra.

Before that, Russia stopped gas supplies to Finland, and at the end of April, Gazprom announced a complete suspension of gas supplies to the Bulgarian Bulgargaz and the Polish PGNi.
