Russia will cut off natural gas to Finland after the Nordic country refused President Vladimir Putin's demand to pay in rubles, the Finnish state-owned energy company said Friday. The cutoff, coming the same week that Finland applied for NATO membership, is the latest escalation over European energy amid theFinland is the most recent country to be cut off from an energy supply that is used to generate electricity and power industry.
The European Commission, the European Union's executive arm, has said that countries making a payment in the currency listed in their contracts and formally signaling that the payment process is concluded is acceptable under EU sanctions. But it says that opening a second account in rubles would breach them.
CEO Mika Wiljanen called the cutoff"highly regrettable." However,"provided that there will be no disruptions in the gas transmission network, we will be able to supply all our customers with gas in the coming months," Wiljanen said. According to Gasum, Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom said in April that future payments in the supply contract be made in rubles instead of euros.Earlier this week, Finland and neighbor Sweden formally applied to join the NATO military organization, marking one of the biggest geopolitical ramifications of Russia's war on Ukraine that could rewrite Europe's security map.on Thursday and offered U.S.
Cutting off for non-payment, since the Finns refused to pay in rubles.
America was about to start a war when Cuban missile crisis at America's borders BUT when other countries encroach on Russia's buffer & actually start a war over that, the world demonizes them when America was about to do the same thing. we all know how America loves to espionage
What were they expecting?
FAKE 🤷🏿♂️for the non-payment they want everything for free if the service company does not cut you off later if you do not pay for two months
Living your life each day without Christ Jesus is a risky thing to do for no man knows the time he or she will leave this world or the time Christ Jesus will come! stop waiting for tomorrow before you are willing to Repent make your decision now before it becomes too late 🔥✝️❤️
Boom! And the United States being a net energy exporter of the natural gas and a NATO ally Expand into that market asap!!
Finland has already brewed a new beer to highlight joining NATO. Now it´s on to vodka to appease Putin.
LoL, yeah for not paying their bill. What happens at ur place wen U don't pay ur power bill? Gets Disconnected
Fullfilments of contracts and their renewals are .
Putin is a fool. Finland and Sweden will find alternatives. Russia will lose a customer forever. The Russian economy is in trouble. The world has moved beyond them.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If you have a contract with them, bring it up in court if they breach their contract. While they may never pay, at least you have it on record for future reference. Meanwhile they can look for new suppliers, but this will hurt the Russian economy just as much.
It's simple... no money,no honey..
Can’t wait until Putler is put on trial and faces justice (putting it mildly). That will be a good day for humanity
They didn’t see that coming
This is called “Cutting off your nose to spite your face”
GO RUSSIA GO STAY STRONG PRESIDENT PUTIN GOT YOUR BACK 💖 DON'T LISTEN TO THE PRIMEPOOPER TRUDEAU Honestly he may try and talk tough but he still sounds like a little girl that couldn't ride a bear
Summertime to put remedial before Winter
Lol Finland cuts off Russia's supply of rubles Putin takes ball and leaves the field AFTER all the other kids refused to play with him
F**k Russia
markkuilmari Doesnt really matter much. Gas consuption is low here. Can be replaced with peat or wood, but emissions will rise. But if we look Germanys or Belgiums plans to shut NP, it is neglible. Mosquito shit in the ocean.
Let them cut off Finland the finish state owned energy company said Friday
That’s fair. If Finland wants natural gas from Russia, it can be bought. Just pay in rubles.
A nice reminder of Putin's war on the free Ukrainian people. These are all Nazis. These images that you will never see in Russia. As always, the truth is well hidden, showing only what suits them. Do us a favor share on social
Yes good
You're not making many friends these days, Pooty
obedience to Russia is the only solution
Is poo poo potty $trapped for rubles.
So sayeth the pariah that is russia.
This hurts Russia too. No sale of gas means no income, rubles or not
He’s not a very good planner is he? Soon you’ll be limited to who buys from you. Less income, more poverty, Russia’s name is mud around the world.
Go home russia you’re drunk don’t nobody care.
Time for energy independence. Stop relying on Russian oil.
No money No honey
