Russia accused of blackmailing European nations as it cuts off gas to Poland and Bulgaria – By Kat Storr (Sky News) / April 27, 2022
Poland’s climate minister insists the country is prepared for such a situation after working for years to reduce its reliance on Russian energy sources.
Russia has been accused of using gas as blackmail after suspending supplies to Poland and Bulgaria.
Gas deliveries through the Yamal-Europe pipeline have come to a halt, data from the European Union network of gas transmission operators shows.
Gazprom, the Russian gas giant, told the Polish state gas company, PGNiG, that gas would stop flowing.
It also told Bulgargaz, the Bulgarian state gas company, that it will halt gas supplies on Wednesday, according to the country’s energy ministry.
