Moscow-Sana
Russia's Gazprom announced today that it will continue to pump natural gas to Europe through Ukraine on a regular and normal basis.
The official representative of the company, Sergei Kupriyanov, was quoted by the RIA Novosti news agency as saying, "The requests for pumping natural gas through Ukraine as of today amounted to 98.9 million cubic meters."
And the Deputy Director of the Institute of Energy and Finance Alexei Belogorev revealed earlier that European countries increased at a large pace their imports of Russian gas in the current May compared to last April.
And Gazprom stopped late last month completely exporting gas to Bulgaria and Poland because of their refusal to pay in the Russian currency, but Europe, especially Germany, then increased the import of Russian gas and pumped it back to Poland.
It is noteworthy that in light of the Western sanctions that affected part of Russia's international reserves, Moscow decided to switch to the Russian ruble currency in the process of paying for gas supplied to unfriendly countries.
