TeleSUR: Russia Denies Reducing Gas Exports to Poland

The state owned gas company Gazprom denied having reduced gas exports to Poland, as several media reports and the Polish gas company PGNiG have reported.

“Media reports claiming that Gazprom reduced the delivery volume to Poland’s PGNiG company are incorrect,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. “Gas volumes currently delivered to Poland remain the same—23 million cubic meters per day,” the statement added.

However, PGNiG asserts that the gas supplies from Russia have dropped 45 percent compared to the planned volumes.

The PGNiG claim came amid rising tensions with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, where Kiev forces fight against pro-Russian federalists in the East of the country.
