Russia accused of 'gas blackmailing' after suspending delivery to Poland, Bulgaria
A worker for Russia's state-controlled gas company, Gazprom, operates a well in Siberia in October 2021. Gazprom on April 26, 2022, informed two European countries it would suspend natural gas deliveries amid rising tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s state-controlled gas company, Gazprom, informed Poland and Bulgaria — both NATO and European Union members — that it would halt deliveries beginning Wednesday, the first such disruptions since Russian President Vladimir Putin said “unfriendly countries” would have to pay for natural gas in rubles instead of other currencies.
