DW News published this video item, entitled “Gazprom to cut gas deliveries to Bulgaria and Poland | Ukraine latest” – below is their description.
Russia’s state-controlled energy company Gazprom has announced it is cutting gas deliveries to both Poland and Bulgaria.
Neither of the EU nations have complied with a demand from Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to start paying for deliveries in Rubles. Several other EU nations, including Germany, are also yet to comply and are heavily reliant on Russian gas.
“As I have emphasised many times, Poland has prepared to diversify gas supplies and to obtain gas from various sources. And even before the Baltic Gas Pipeline is launched, we will be able to protect our economy, protect households and Poles against such a dramatic step by Russia,” said Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki about the cutoff.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Russian President Vladimir Putin met one-on-one Tuesday for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine. The UN-Chief criticized Russia’s invasion as a violation of its neighbor’s territorial integrity. Putin told the secretary general that he still had hopes for negotiations with Kyiv.
