Russia widened its gas cuts to Europe on Tuesday with Gazprom saying it will turn off supplies to several “unfriendly” countries which have refused to accept Moscow’s roubles-for-gas payment scheme.
The move by the Russian gas giant is the latest retaliation to western sanctions imposed on Moscow following its February 24 invasion of Ukraine, escalating its economic battle with Brussels and pushing up European gas prices.
Gazprom said on Tuesday it had fully cut off gas supplies to Dutch gas trader GasTerra.
