Russia’s Gazprom ‘limiting gas supplies to Poland’

Several media reports quoted Poland as saying that the volume of gas it had received from Russian gas monopoly Gazprom was down by at least 20% during the first week of September 2014.

According to Ukraine's gas transport monopoly Ukrtransgaz, Gazprom was limiting flows to Poland to disrupt supplies of gas in the opposite direction, from Poland into Ukraine.
