The flow of Russian gas supply was terminated at the Ukrainian-Romanian border Tuesday morning, cutting off supply to Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Macedonia, the Bulgarian supplier Bulgargaz said. The Bulgarian energy authorities have already held an urgent meeting and Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev scheduled an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the situation. Russian gas supplies to Turkey from a western pipeline passing through Ukraine have been completely cut, Turkey's Energy Minister Hilmi Guler told reporters on Tuesday.
He added Turkey has raised supplies of Russian gas delivered via the Blue-Stream pipeline which passes under the Black Sea to 48 million cubic metres per day from a previous 40 million, and would use liquid natural gas sources and natural gas stores.
