The Bloomberg edition announced the rejection of the ruble payment from Gazprom Germania.
Bloomberg agency, citing its sources, stated that Gazprombank rejected the payment for the supply of gas fuel to Germany. It is noteworthy that the payment was made by Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd in rubles.
The publication reports that the payment was transferred for a number of purchases for April and May of this year under a contract between a German firm and Gazprombank.
It is indicated that the prepayment concerns gas for Germany and Austria, but the bank rejected it, although, at the request of the Russian side, the payment was made in ruble currency.
The source of the publication said that now the German firm insists that the Gazprom division has accepted the payment, and is now discussing this with representatives of the Russian company.
Recall, as Topnews wrote, at the end of March, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree according to which states included in the list of unfriendly countries are obliged to pay for the supply of Russian fuel in rubles.
Bloomberg, referring to the data he received, says about 10 European countries that agreed to the conditions proposed by the Russian Federation.
Also, according to RIA Novosti, on March 31, Gazprom 31 withdrew from the capital of Gazprom Export Business Services LLC, and does not participate in the activities of Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd.
