Poland and Bulgaria get gas from their European neighbors

Poland and Bulgaria will get gas from their European neighbors after Russian energy giant Gazprom cut off supplies, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced.

"We will work to ensure that Gazprom's decision has the least possible impact on European consumers," the Commission Chairperson stressed in a brief speech to the press.

And she considered that "the measure taken by Russia will affect Russia itself. The Kremlin is harming the Russian economy because they are depriving themselves of a great return."

It noted that this "unilateral halt" of delivery was "unjustified and unacceptable."

"This once again shows the unreliability of Russia as a gas supplier," she said.

"Today, the Kremlin has failed once again in its attempt to sow division among the member states. The era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe is coming to an end," she added.

The Russian energy giant Gazprom announced yesterday that it had cut off all gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria for not receiving payments in rubles from the two European Union countries.
