Russia Halts Gas Supplies to Ukraine

Russia Halts Gas Supplies to Ukraine

Disputes between Moscow and Kiev reemerged last week amid Gazprom’s disruption of gas supplies to Ukraine, Kiev’s ban on Russian planes flyovers, and a recent explosion of power lines on Russian-annexed Crimea, Reuters reported.

The energy conflict over gas pricing in Ukraine has launched an EU wide debate invoked by a statement issued by Gazprom’s Chief Executive, Alexei Miller warning against possible gas disruptions to Europe, if Kiev pursues its intentions to join a free trade alliance with the EU on January 1, 2016.

Gazprom is seeking a meeting with the EU’s antitrust chief to settle the issues on 15 December, Bloomberg informed.
