Ukraine war: Russia to halt gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria
[BBC] 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.

Both countries have 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.
