អ្វីដែលយើងមិនដឹង

Why Russia cut off Finland’s gas. Gasum did not give a reason for Gazprom—which is mostly owned by the Russian state—cutting off its gas supplies. The company has refused to cede to Moscow’s demands to pay for gas in rubles and on Tuesday បាននិយាយថា: it was taking Gazprom Export to arbitration over the issue. Wiljanen said Gasum “had no choice but to take the contract to arbitration” and on Wednesday Gasum បាននិយាយថា: there was a “real risk” of gas supplies being cut on Friday or Saturday. Finland is not the only country to refuse to pay in rubles, however, and the announcement comes two days after the country ជាផ្លូវការ asked to join NATO, something Russian President Vladimir Putin said would ខូច relations with Russia and risk ការសងសឹក.

Finland is the third country to be excised from Russian supplies, joining Bulgaria and Poland. Russia បានបញ្ឈប់ the flow of gas there in late April after both countries refused to make payments in rubles. Europe relies heavily on Russian energy exports and the bloc has តស៊ូ to impose sanctions targeting the sector over this reliance. Poland and Bulgaria both rely heavily on Russian gas, which accounts for around 46% and 90% of gas, respectively, according to the Polish think tank វេទិកា Energii និង Politico. Finland, however, is significantly less reliant on Russia for its gas—it makes up around 6% of the country’s overall ការប្រើប្រាស់, which is primarily from industry—and the economic impact of losing its supplies is likely to be limited.
