Russia has promised to continue gas shipments to Hungary and that Gazprom will fulfil its contractual obligations to the country, foreign minister Peter Szijjarto said in an interview on public service radio on Sunday.
In Russia’s response to Western sanctions imposed on Moscow since its invasion of Ukraine, state energy giant Gazprom has cut supplies to Denmark’s Orsted (ORSTED.CO) and to Shell Energy (SHEL.L) for its contract to supply gas to Germany.
It also cut supplies to Dutch gas trader GasTerra along with Bulgaria, Poland and Finland for refusing to make payments for Russian gas in roubles under a new rouble scheme.
