company decides to stop doing business with the regime.
Citing Russian media reports, Radio Free Asia reported Wednesday Gazprom said it is suspending
business with North Korea in a memorandum of understanding regarding its plan to issue
new Eurobonds.

international sanctions and added it is not doing any energy-related business with the
North at this time.
