The Russian company “Gazprom” stopped the extraction and injection of gas in the largest German storage “Rehden”. This was told by the operator of the Astora underground storage company Gazprom Germania.
As it turned out, all operations at Reden stopped on the morning of April 1, when the decree of Russian leader Vladimir Putin came into force on the transfer of gas contracts with unfriendly countries to rubles. Berlin has so far refused to accept the new conditions.
To date, the storage “Reden” is 21 million cubic meters per day. Prior to the shutdown, the UGSF was withdrawing and supplying fuel to the German gas transmission system.
The decision to convert gas sales into rubles was a response to tough anti-Russian sanctions. Such a move made it possible to strengthen the national currency and stabilize the situation in the country. Thus, the exchange rates of the ruble and the dollar have already fallen significantly and in the coming days may return to the values that were before the start of the special operation in Ukraine.
