Europe is set to receive its usual Russian gas supplies on Friday, despite fears among market participants that they would be halted if payments to Gazprom PJSC were inhibited.
Over 40 million cubic meters of Russian gas are booked to transit through Ukraine on Friday via the Sudzha entry point, according to official grid data, in line with the usual amounts. That indicates the Russian gas giant’s export arm has received money for supplies by the 20th day of the month — which corresponds to previous payment deadlines.
