“Gazprom informed us this afternoon that they will stop delivery tomorrow morning,” Gasum director Mika Wiljanen said, according to Reuters news agency. The company will continue to supply gas to Finnish customers from other sources through the ‘Balticonnector’ pipeline between Finland and Estonia. “We were already carefully preparing for this moment and can guarantee that there will be no disruptions in the gas network. We can supply all our customers with gas in the coming months.”
Finland recently announced its intention to join the NATO military alliance. Russia sees the expansion of NATO to a country with which it shares a border of more than a thousand kilometers as a major threat.
