"As of the end of the working day on May 30, Gazprom Export did not yet receive a payment from GasTerra B.V. for the gas supplied in April, which was to be made in compliance with the Russian President's Decree No. 172 dated March 31, 2022," Gazprom said.

“Gazprom has completely stopped gas supplies to GasTerra due to non-payment in rubles,” it added.

On 26 April, Russia announced it would cut off natural gas exports to Poland and Bulgaria, as a part of a series of disputes over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. (ILKHA)
