Zelensky urges Europe to boost Russia sanctions over ‘gas war’

KYIV, 26 July 2022, (TON): Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Europe to retaliate against Russia’s gas war by boosting its sanctions against Moscow.

Zelensky said “today we heard new gas threats to Europe. This is an open gas war that Russia is waging against a united Europe.”

Russia’s state-owned energy giant said it will cut daily gas deliveries to Europe via the Nord Stream pipeline to 33 million cubic meters a day about 20 percent of the pipeline’s capacity.

It said “it was halting the operation of one of the last two operating turbines due to the technical condition of the engine.
