"'We continue the change' is a political party that will fully defend the Bulgarian interest. This means an independent, free and prosperous Bulgaria," said Prime Minister Kiril Petkov at a press conference of the party, attended by Deputy Prime Minister Asen Vassilev and members of the WCC Executive Board.

"Greece will offer assistance to Bulgaria after Russia suspended gas supplies to the country". This was stated today by the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Kiril Petkov today, Reuters reports.

The two had a phone conversation and this was confirmed today by the Prime Minister of Bulgaria.

For the time being, Bulgaria has no intention of stopping transit gas to Serbia and Hungary. This became clear at a briefing by Bulgarian Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov, who gave more details about Gazprom's decision to suspend natural gas supplies to Bulgaria.

"The government is prepared for the scenario of stopping the supply of Russian natural gas to Bulgaria, and for its part is currently reviewing the contract for transit through our country." This was announced by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov to the ministers and he declared that Bulgaria will not succumb to racketeering and blackmail to pay for natural gas in rubles, while at the same t

Poland and Bulgaria said Russian energy giant Gazprom's decision to halt natural gas supplies to them won't cause unbearable problems as they either have enough gas stored, or have alternatives to draw on.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called Gazprom's move "a direct attack on Poland, revenge for the sanctions we imposed", in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced on Wednesday that his government, along with Austrian oil company OMV, has agreed to pay for Russian gas imports in rubles.

Russia's latest "game" with natural gas is causing serious turmoil in the Greek stock market, which is currently moving with significant losses. In particular, the general index is falling by 1.55% to 924.35 points, with a turnover of more than 15 million euros.

"Gazprom's announcement that it will unilaterally cut off gas supplies to customers in Europe is another attempt by Russia to use gas as a tool for extortion," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement. According to her, Gazprom's decision is unjustified and unacceptable and once again shows Russia's unreliability as a gas supplier.

Gazprom has completely cut off supplies to Bulgargaz and PGNiG because the countries do not pay in rubles for fuel.

This was announced by the holding, quoted by Reuters and TASS.

Deliveries will be suspended until payments are made, the concern added.

Transit through the two countries could be halted in the event of an illegal Russian gas withdrawal, Gazprom warned.

In Kyiv, they say that the Ukrainian army is moving to the NATO standard.
Russia's permanent mission to the United Nations announced yesterday that Ukraine has refused to sign the agreement on the safety of nuclear power plants, which was initiated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
