Finland is going to get themselves frozen to death and invaded because the stupid bitch who runs their country has declared a war against Russia for literally no reason.
RT: Electricity supplies from Russia to Finland were halted on Saturday, RAO Nordic said in a statement, explaining that it had received no payment for power provided to the country in May.
“Unfortunately, we are forced to note that for the volumes which have been sold on the Nord Pool exchange since May 6, funds have not yet been credited to our bank account,”said the company, which is a subsidiary of Russian state energy corporate Inter RAO.
The firm expressed hope that the situation would be resolved and trade could resume. RAO Nordic had reportedly been trading on the Nord Pool exchange for more than two decades.
“We hope that the situation will improve soon and the electricity trade with Russia can resume,” the corporation said.
On Friday, Finland’s transmission system operator Fingrid said there was no threat to electricity supply in the country as a result of the move. The grid company added that electricity imported from Russia accounted for around 10% of the nation’s total consumption.
“The lack of electricity imports from Russia will be compensated for by importing more electricity from Sweden and by generating more electricity in Finland,” said Reima Paivinen, Fingrid’s senior vice president of power system operations.
So they stopped paying? Why?
I thought this was about Finland joining NATO?
Finland also, like all of Europe, gets most of their gas from Russia. They claim they can… cope?
Reuters:
Finland is ready to cope in the event that Russia cuts off its supply of natural gas, the government’s emergency preparedness committee said after a meeting on Friday.
Key Finnish politicians had been warned of a possible halt to gas exports by Russia on Friday, Finnish newspaper Iltalehti reported on Thursday.
Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen told reporters he could not confirm the report while the Kremlin said the newspaper report was “most likely a hoax” and reiterated that state-owned gas company Gazprom remained a reliable gas supplier.
Finland gets 94% of their gas from Russia.
