Europe is bracing itself for further cuts to its supply of Russian natural gas as Moscow threatens to slash flows to Moldova, a country on Ukraine’s southwestern border.

Russian state gas giant Gazprom said Tuesday it would reduce shipments to the country starting Monday over disputed claims that Ukraine is withholding some of the gas as it is piped though its territory. On its official telegram account, the company said it would cut gas flows through the Sudzha transit point equal to the amount it claims Ukraine is preventing from reaching Moldova.

Russia supplies Moldova with about 5 million cubic meters of gas per day, a tiny fraction of the gas the European Union uses to power its homes and businesses on a daily basis, data from the Independent Commodity Intelligence Services shows. But the move raises the specter of a further reduction in the supply of gas to the European Union through Ukraine, one of just two routes through which Russia is still delivering gas via pipeline to the bloc.

According to all international protocols, the use of hexachloroethane AKA 'nerve gas ' in Javanroud is a clear example of a war crime, crime against humanity & genocide! As a citizen of Iran, we request the international community to use the R2P law.

Time to have Ukraine join NATO then invade Russia and take the oil fields an natural gas.

6-10x energy costs in Germany, who laughed in Trump's face when he predicted this. I hope they're all fired. PLUS Ukraine would've never happened if Trump was POTUS so ALL the lives lost- amd all the oil amd money is the cost of the liberal New world order. Very expensive
