Gazprom explained that the 24.7% decrease was due to the adoption in some countries of “politically motivated decisions aimed at refusing to import Russian gas.”
Russia’s Gazprom published its operating figures for gas production and supply for the first time this year and reported a significant drop in production in the first half of the year. This is reported by the Russian agency Interfax in connection with a report by Gazprom.
“Based on the results of the first half of 2023, the production of natural and related gas of the Gazprom Group in the Russian Federation reached 179.45 billion cubic meters. The decrease of 24.7% is due to the adoption of decisions with the motive in politics in a number of countries that seek to refuse to import Russian gas.” , the report said.
Earlier it became known that Gazprom decided not to pay dividends for 2022. This happened due to the fact that the annual profit of the gas monopolist fell by 41%.
