Japanese and Lithuanian companies stop buying gas from Gazprom.

Japan’s largest oil refineries, Eneos and Idemitsu, will stop buying Russian oil after fulfilling current contracts in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, company chief Tsutomu Sugimori said. In addition to the Japanese companies, Lithuanian gas supplier Ignitis Group, which buys some of the gas it needs from Gazprom, will refuse to buy from the Russian gas company.  According to the company’s CEO, Ignitis has not bought gas from Gazprom for the needs of Lithuania since the beginning of this year. However, gas was bought for Latvian and Estonian customers and stored in the Inčukalns storage facility in Latvia.
