Gazprom PJSC said Wednesday that it is halting gas deliveries to Bulgaria and Poland due to its failure to pay in rubles.

Russia's state-owned gas company said that supplies to Bulgaria's Bulgargaz and Poland's Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazwnctwo SA were suspended from Wednesday until payments for the gas supplied since April 1 are made in rubles, as ruled by President Vladimir Putin on March 31.

"Bulgaria and Poland are transit states. In case of unauthorized offtake of Russian gas from the volumes intended for transit into third countries, the transited supplies will be reduced by the volume that was offtaken," Gazprom warned.
