Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree according to which Gazprom will not be able to fulfill its obligations to foreign partners from unfriendly countries. The company will not be able to buy gas from joint ventures at the Urengoyskoye and Yuzhno-Russkoye fields at a price higher than that set by the government. Gazprom is developing these fields together with Germany's Wintershall Dea and Austria's OMV.
