Russia cuts gas to Dutch supplier
By EUobserver
Russia's Gazprom turned off supply to major Dutch trader GasTerra on Tuesday, escalating the economic battle between Moscow and Europe, Reuters reported. The move comes a day after Denmark flagged a potential end to its Russian gas supply. GasTerra, which buys gas on behalf of the Dutch government, said it had contracted elsewhere for the 2 billion cubic metres (bcm) it had expected to receive from Gazprom until October.
