Poland’s state-owned energy company PGNiG confirmed on Tuesday that Russian energy firm Gazprom will halt deliveries on the Yamal contract as of Wednesday. Earlier reports suggested that the supply from Russia had already been cut off.
According to a statement from the Polish gas firm, “Gazprom informed PGNiG of its intention to completely suspend deliveries under the Yamal contract at the beginning of the contract day on April 27.”
Earlier on Tuesday, a Gazprom spokesman announced that “today, Poland is obliged to pay for gas supplies in accordance with the new payment procedure,” referring to Russia’s demand that “unfriendly countries” buy its gas in rubles.
