According to a letter cited in the report, the German Economy Ministry has instructed state-owned Deutsche Energy Terminal to reject Russian gas shipments.
The decision came after the company informed the German government of its plans to receive a cargo of Russian gas at the Brunsbuttel import port on November 17.
* Also related to the gas issue, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak recently shared that the country is ready to continue supplying gas to Europe via Ukraine, but this must be agreed upon by Kiev and related countries.
The agreement on the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine is due to expire at the end of this year. Kiev has refused to extend the agreement with Moscow.
"In my opinion, European countries that are receiving gas through this corridor are interested in continuing cooperation. We are ready to supply gas. However, this does not depend much on us," Mr. Alexander Novak emphasized.
Russia's gas supplies to Europe via Ukraine are relatively small. In 2023, Moscow will transport about 15 billion cubic meters of gas via Kiev.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak also revealed that the Kremlin continues to supply oil and gas to a number of European countries and is constantly cooperating with other countries.
"We continue to cooperate with a number of European countries, including oil and gas supplies. These are countries exempted from sanctions," Mr. Novak said.
