pmwww | | Gas to part of Europe shut off (6th Jan 09 at 1:12pm UTC) | | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7812860.stm
Quote: Turkey said all its gas supplies via Ukraine had been cut. Romania reported a 75% reduction. Bulgaria, Greece and Macedonia are also seeing shortfalls.
The Russian energy giant Gazprom says Ukraine has shut down three of the four pipelines for EU-bound Russian gas.
The European Commission says the supply cut is "completely unacceptable".
The EU depends on Russia for about a quarter of its total gas supplies, some 80% of which is pumped through Ukraine.
What are your views on this - have Russia the right to do this, whether it be a financial or a moral level?
How do you think this can be resolved?
Should other countires be affected because of the actions of just one or two? | |
