Tytti Tuppurainen demanded that the Finnish state energy company Gasum Oy stop pumping LNG from Russia. Helsingin Sanomat writes, "Finland and all of Europe must get rid of Russian energy resources," the politician said.
The Russian gas giant Gazprom ceased exports of natural gas to Finland under the contract with Gasum, as the country didn't pay for the month of April, and rejected the policy introduced by Moscow ruling that the pay should be effected in rubles.
