Russian natural gas company Gazprom said exports to countries outside the former Soviet Union were down more than 33 percent year-on-year in the 2022 period from January through July 15 as the Nord Stream I pipeline to Germany was closed for a seventh day of a scheduled 10 days of maintenance.

Most of Gazprom’s European Union pipeline natural gas customers are set to open new bank accounts with Gazprombank to meet Russian demands for the payment of volumes to be made in Russian roubles.
