Gazprom Confirms Halting Gas Deliveries to Ukraine

Gazprom halted gas deliveries to Ukraine on Wednesday and said it won’t resume supplies until Kiev makes a pre-payment.

“Ukraine has not made a prepayment for gas deliveries for July. As of 10:00 this morning, July 1, Gazprom has halted gas deliveries. Gazprom will not deliver any gas to Ukraine at any price until there is a prepayment,” Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller said, according to sputniknews.com.

Ukraine's state-owned utility Naftogaz has said it will stop purchasing gas from the Russian energy giant as of 1 July, until a dispute over prices has been settled.

Ukraine, however, made clear it won't disrupt gas transit to Europe done via its territory.
