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.
