For the first time: Russia partially stops supplying natural gas to Germany

The Russian company Gazprom announced today (Tuesday) that it will stop supplying natural gas to the Danish energy company Orstad and a European subsidiary of the energy giant “Shel”, which is responsible for a small part of the supply to Germany, starting tomorrow. The severance was made after the two companies refused to pay in rubles as demanded by Moscow, and will take effect starting tomorrow, June 1. Denmark, which has natural gas production fields in the North Sea, has announced that it is “prepared and ready” for a break and that there is no concern for the Danish economy.
