0 Comments | AFP, March, 2008

MOSCOW (AFP) — Russia on Monday cut gas supplies to Ukraine by 25 percent after the two countries failed to reach agreement in a gas pricing dispute, Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said.

"Gazprom today reduced supplies to Ukraine by 25 percent from 10:00 am," (0700 GMT), Kupriyanov said in televised comments.

Russian gas supplies to European clients will continue despite the cut to Ukraine, Kupriyanov said.

"Deliveries to European consumers are continuing and will continue at full capacity," he said.
