Russia's Gazprom to halt gas supplies to Poland, Bulgaria.

Russian energy firm Gazprom has told Poland and Bulgaria it will stop sending gas to the two countries from Wednesday.

Polish state gas company PGNiG said it had been told all gas deliveries would be halted from 08:00 CET (06:00 GMT).

The Bulgarian Energy Ministry also said it had been informed deliveries would be suspended from Wednesday.

It comes after Russia said "unfriendly" countries must start paying for gas in roubles or it would cut supplies.

Poland has repeatedly refused to pay in this way.

PGNiG relies on Gazprom for the majority of its gas imports and bought 53% of its imports from the Russian company in the first quarter of this year.

It described the suspension as a breach of contract, adding that the company would take steps to reinstate the flow of gas.

Bulgaria's energy ministry said it had taken steps to find alternative supplies but no restrictions on gas consumption were currently required.

The country relies on Gazprom for more than 90% of its gas supply.

Following the news, Poland's climate ministry said the country's energy supplies were secure.

Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said there was no need to draw gas from reserves and gas to customers would not be cut.

PGNiG said its underground gas storage was almost 80% full and, with summer approaching, demand was lower.

Poland also has alternative supply sources, including a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Swinoujscie.

And on 1 May, a new gas pipeline connection with Lithuania is due to open that will give Poland access to gas from Lithuania's LNG terminal.

Poland was already planning to stop importing Russian gas by the end of the year, when its long-term supply contract with Gazprom expires.

Poland imports gas from Gazprom via the Yamal pipeline.

And a new pipeline delivering gas from Norway, known as the "Baltic Pipe", comes online in October. It should reach full capacity by the end of the year and could replace all Russian deliveries.

The gas supply cut does not mean Poland will immediately be unable to meet customer demand.

In recent years, Poland has reduced its dependence on Russian gas and it now buys LNG from Qatar and pipelines connect the country to the European market. Plus, the winter heating season is over, so demand is lower.

But Gazprom supplies more than half of all Poland's gas imports. That's a big hole to fill.

And Poland is not the only EU country now seeking to stop buying Russian energy.

There's a lot of competition on an already tight gas supply market. When the heating season starts again in the autumn and demand rises, Poland could face a tricky few months securing enough supply.

And if it does so, it may have to restrict supplies to large industrial users.

Supplies from Russia account for about 40% of the EU's natural gas imports.

However, many countries have pledged to move away from Russian energy in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

The US has declared a complete ban on Russian oil, gas and coal imports.

Meanwhile, the UK is to phase out Russian oil by the end of the year, with gas to follow as soon as possible, and the EU is reducing gas imports by two-thirds.

Poland cannot survive it, they are not like Nigerians we survive any weather, hot or cold

CASUALTIES OF WAR,U KNOW WHO SUFFERS IT? if u know u know

Nice one

Let's see how they will power their economy. Bunch of morons allowing themselves to be manipulated by faraway US.

Poland is really making themselves an enemy to Russia more than even Ukraine themselves.

Person dey take paracetamol on top another man headache

small small SENSE go enter their brain.... if not now, wait til the cold weather comes knocking.

WATCHOVER:
Poland cannot survive it, they are not like Nigerians we survive any weather, hot or cold

don't u read the already have plans to stop buying gas from Russia by year ending and also will start using their reserves while the pipeline from Norway will compliment it

Nice move

Poverty is about to visit those EU countries.
This is the real motive behind their Green Energy agenda. Its not for climate change, they want to break free of Russia's stranglehold.

The EU should just beg Putin instead of plunging their innocent citizens into hardship.

THE BEAR BITES HARD!

na Russia go lose. Ukraine don use propaganda finish Russia so tey any transaction with Russia don dey tagged as money given to Russia to take buy more weapons to kill d ukranians.
Putin own don cast.

The West should have never sanctioned Russia. They thought Russia is Africa or something. Now how are things working out for them in the West? By the way, Russia already cut off the gas supply to Poland and Bulgaria is next on the line. Russia will also cut off gas supply to Sweden and Finland as well since they have expressed interest to join NATO.

What is coming upon our world eh......hmmmm......I hope people are ready for the looming economic crisis coming our way. As for those Nigerians that are part of the japa crew, you better keep your behind in Nigeria/Africa for now.

There is an inflation and economic crash along with food shortages coming to the Western world. And as we all know, a hungry man is an angry man. Once hunger start to fire oyibo people and hardship sets in, they will take out their anger and frustration on Black people through racism and aggression. You will begin to hear Black people getting needlessly shot down by cops and whatnot especially in America because oyibo no send Black people message to begin with.

Stay alert to the times and seasons we are in because we have entered into a new dispensation.

MY DEAR RUSSIA IS NOT THE ONLY GAS SUPPLIER IN THE WORLD O.

Whatever they're doing, they should just not switch to Nuclear War.
Because I still don't understand why some old men who have over•enjoyed their lives, seen it all in the world, had it all, would now start scattering everything and turning the world upside down for those coming behind when they're just about to exit already.

Russia doesn't supply gas to Europe. Russia supplies cheap gas to Europe.

If Poland likes, it shouldn't pay, and keep giving excuses to validate the reasons it's not paying. Putin is cutting your gas off by Wednesday.
