Russia halts gas supply to Poland and Bulgaria

Nasvi Province (AP = Yonhap News) The governments of Poland and Bulgaria said the day before that Russia’s energy giant and state-owned Gazprom had notified that it would stop supplying natural gas from the 27th (local time). Russia has threatened to cut off gas supply to European countries unless the purchase price is paid in rubles.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Mi-ryeong = Energy-related stocks rose sharply in the Korean stock market on the 27th on the news that Russia would stop supplying gas to Poland and Bulgaria.

Daesung Energy in the stock market today[117580]closed at 13,650 won, up to the price limit (30.00%) from the previous day.

In addition, Korea Petroleum in the stock market[004090](24.74%), SH Energy Chemical[002360](18.41%), Gyeongdong City Gas[267290](16.88%) and GS in the KOSDAQ market[053050](29.93%), JoongAng Energy[000440](29.62%), Heunggu Petroleum[024060](14.94%) and oil and gas-related stocks soared one after another.

The news that Russia will completely stop supplying natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria is interpreted as reflecting expectations for price increases.

On the 26th (local time), Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom announced that it would stop supplying gas to two countries, including Poland and Bulgaria, from the 27th.

The move is believed to be because the two countries did not accept Russia’s request to settle gas imports in Russian rubles.

Earlier, Russia designated countries participating in Western sanctions as ‘unfriendly countries’, and these countries unilaterally demanded that gas be paid in rubles.
