Russian gas supplies under the Yamal contract to Poland have been halted, Polish private broadcaster Polsat News and the Onet.pl website reported, citing unnamed sources. PGNiG, which buys gas from Gazprom under a long-term contract that expires this year, added it will take steps to reinstate the flow of gas according to the Yamal contract and the halt of supplies was a breach of that contract. It further added that it has the right to pursue damages over the breach of contract.
Physical gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline from Belarus to Poland were at zero kilowatt-hours (kWh) at 4 p.m. CET, down from 52,634,785 kWh/day in the early hours of Tuesday, data from the European Union network of gas transmission operators showed. The Polish Climate Ministry said it would hold a briefing on gas supplies at 7:15 p.m. CET on Tuesday. Poland has repeatedly said it would not agree to Russia's demand to pay in roubles for gas it buys from Gazprom under new rules Russia announced last month.
