In the absence of payment for gas, after the grace period of five days, gas supplies will be terminated.

Well, the first one went - Russia suspended gas supplies to Poland.

Let's not pull out 1 line from the whole event?

What does the whole picture look like of what is happening on the gas market in Poland and around?! FACTS:

1. Real "first - go!" It was this winter when Russia, violating all contractual relations, with the aim of terrorizing consumers, in order to achieve its illegal desires, stopped the flow of gas towards the EU. I will not recall the previous, even earlier "first-go".
2. As early as March 17, 2022, Poland announced that it was refusing to buy Russian gas even under short-term contracts, and the contract, which ends in 2022, will not be extended. Those. in this case, which you pointed out, Russia has once again shown its "stability" by violating the fulfillment of its obligations and implementing its complexes. This is "normal" for Russia - feel free to describe the real picture

3. In September 2021, PGNiG signed a 20-year contract with the United States for the supply of liquefied natural gas. Supplies of liquefied natural gas from the United States to Poland will be increased from 3.5 million tons to 5.5 million tons per year from 2023. This increase will just approximately cover the critical shortage of gas, after the cessation of gas purchases from Russia, by the end of the current contract.
4. Polish gas market: 5 billion cubic meters - own production, about 6-7 billion through the Swinoujscie LNG terminal - a regasification terminal located in the Polish city of Swinoujscie. Designed to receive liquefied natural gas (LNG) from gas carriers, its subsequent regasification and transfer to gas distribution networks. This is approximately 12 billion cubic meters of gas. At the same time, the total consumption is approximately 15 billion. This means that Poland needs to buy 3 billion cubic meters from others (read - Russia). The contract, which Russia violated today, envisaged the supply of up to 9 billion cubic meters. Taking into account the gas terror from Russia that has already taken place, a project was launched to pump Norwegian gas, and around November 2022 this supply route will start working

5. Yes, Poland will now have a somewhat difficult period, but this is temporary, and even more so - summer. In 6 months Russia will finally lose a stable buyer of gas. What will Russia do with it, which has almost no storage facilities, will become a problem for Russia.

In total - another "victory in Russian", or as it is called in the rest of the world - "shoot yourself in the foot"

See how the information played with colors, how complete and multifaceted it turned out to be?

PS. Dear be.open, despite our diametrically opposed views, I respect your opinion. But a strong recommendation - do not submit such "unspoken" information! Anyone who spends 10 seconds checking it is guaranteed to come to the conclusion that you are either manipulating or distorting or giving "reluctant" or not revealing the "full picture". And you're doing it on purpose

I deleted my previous post because it looks like it was a bit premature and there was no confirmation from Gazprom. But since you managed to answer it, so be it, especially since it looks like the information about the termination of gas supplies to Poland under the Yamal contract is correct. Bulgaria also received a notice of gas shutdown due to lack of payment in rubles today.

The "full picture" is that Russia will no longer supply its resources without payment, which Russia is free to dispose of.
