Ukraine says Gazprom cuts Europe gas supply to 1/3


    KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz said on Tuesday that Russia's Gazprom had cut gas supply to Europe via Ukraine to around a third of its normal flow and that the shortage would hit Europe in a few hours.

    The gas supply for Europe through Ukraine was at around 92 mcm/day compared to around 300 mcm/day before January 1, a Naftogaz spokesman said.

    "This means that in a few hours Europe will face a problem with gas supplies," he said.
