Germany’s largest energy company stops buying gas from Gazprom.

Reuters reported that Germany’s largest energy company E.ON has stopped buying new amounts of gas from Gazprom’s trading companies in Europe. The group said that although it had no long-term direct supply contracts with gas producers, a small amount of fuel had been purchased from Gazprom’s trading companies. “The Russian market is not one of our target regions. But one thing is clear: if there is a prolonged physical deficit of energy imports, it will have consequences for us,” they said in a statement.
