Gas problems continue

Russian gas suppliers, Gazprom, have officially cut-off gas pipelines to the Ukraine. The gas was cut off at 7am this morning. Around 20% of gas is piped through the Ukraine to other European countries including Poland, Germany, France, and Hungary. Poland and Hungary are already reporting loss of gas from Russia. While Germany and France are reported to have no problems with their gas supplies.

There has also been accusations from Gazprom that Kiev is stealing gas which is meant for other European countries. The Ukraine has denied, saying not one cubic meter has been stolen. The EU is planning a meeting on the 4 of January.
