A spokesman for the Italian energy company Eni said that “the Russian company Gazprom has informed it of a limited reduction in gas supplies to date, equivalent to about 15 percent,” explaining that his company “was not informed of the reasons for the reduction.” it’s an abbreviation.”

Yesterday, the Russian giant Gazprom announced that it was cutting gas supplies to Germany via the Nord Stream gas pipeline by more than 40 percent per day due to the inability to obtain the necessary equipment from the German company (Siemens).

Eni announced last month that it “decided to open a euro account and another ruble account with Gazprombank to make payments for Russian gas supplies due in the coming days,” as requested by Moscow.

The statement says that “the obligation to pay cannot be fulfilled by transferring in euros”, and the new mechanism “should not contradict the sanctions” imposed by the European Commission against Moscow.
