(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Mi-ryeong = Energy-related stocks rose sharply in the Korean stock market on the 27th on the news that Russia would stop supplying gas to Poland and Bulgaria.

The news that Russia will completely stop supplying natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria is interpreted as reflecting expectations for price increases.

On the 26th (local time), Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom announced that it would stop supplying gas to two countries, including Poland and Bulgaria, from the 27th.

The move is believed to be because the two countries did not accept Russia’s request to settle gas imports in Russian rubles.

Earlier, Russia designated countries participating in Western sanctions as ‘unfriendly countries’, and these countries unilaterally demanded that gas be paid in rubles.
