Russian energy company Gazprom announced that it will stop natural gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria as of April 27.

Polish public energy company PGNiG SA has announced that Gazprom will stop gas supply to the Yamal pipeline on April 27. In the statement made by the company, it was reported that Gazprom notified PGNiG on the morning of April 27 of its intention to suspend deliveries under the Yamal contract entirely.
