Russia cuts the light on Finland. Can’t pay the bill….
Russia will suspend electricity supplies to Finland this weekend, an international supplier said on Friday as tensions over Helsinki's candidacy for NATO after the war in Ukraine escalate.
" We are forced to suspend the import of electricity starting May 14, " RAO Nordic, a subsidiary of the Russian state energy holding Inter RAO, said in a statement, adding that it has not received payment for the volumes sold in May. The cut is officially linked to the inability to pay for electricity on the Russian bank.
" RAO Nordic is unable to make payments for electricity imported from Russia ," the statement added.
“ This situation is exceptional and has occurred for the first time in over 20 years of our trading history, ” said RAO Nordic, hoping that the situation will “soon” improve and that trade can resume.
On Thursday, Finnish leaders said their nation must apply to join NATO "without delay," a seismic shift in politics since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops to Ukraine on February 24.
The Kremlin warned that Russia would " surely " consider Finland's accession as a threat, while the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow would be " forced to take reciprocal measures, military-technical and other, to address the threats it poses. derive “.
