Russia officially cuts off gas sources to Finland

In its statement, the Gasum gas company said that the Russian energy group Gazprom announced it would stop supplying natural gas from the morning of May 21. However, Gasum will continue to supply gas to domestic customers with other gas sources through the Balticconnector pipeline, and affirmed that gas supply will not be interrupted.

On May 17, Gasum warned that Russia would soon cut gas to Finland as soon as this week because the country refused to pay Russian company Gazprom in rubles.
