Russia stops all gas supply thru Ukraine:

By MARIA DANILOVA - Associated Press Writer

Russia has shut off all its gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine _ the latest move in a pricing dispute that has reduced or halted fuel deliveries to a dozen countries during a winter cold snap.

Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom, which had sharply limited supplies through Ukraine on Tuesday, has stopped all gas shipments through the country as of 7:44 a.m. (0544 GMT), said Valentyn Zemlyansky, spokesman for Ukraine's Naftogaz.

About 80 percent of Russian gas to Europe is shipped via Ukraine. Other smaller pipelines run through Belarus and Turkey.

"It was the Russian side's decision to stop all gas deliveries to Europe" through Ukraine, Naftogaz head Oleh Dubina told reporters. "I think it is inappropriate."

Russia confirmed the cutoff, but said it was Ukraine's fault because it had shut down the last pipeline carrying gas from Russia. Gazprom also says it is reducing to compensate for the gas it accuses Ukraine of diverting.

The Russia-Ukraine natural gas dispute has left tens of thousands of people in Europe without heat as governments scrambled to find alternative energy sources.

By early Wednesday, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Turkey had all reported a halt in gas shipments, while France, Germany, Austria, Poland and Hungary had reported substantial drops in supplies from Russia.

In the Czech republic, gas operator RWE Transgas confirmed Wednesday that Russian gas deliveries through Ukraine stopped completely overnight. The country still receives gas from another route from Norway and customers were not immediately affected, the company said.

Romania, which imports about 30 percent of its gas from Russia, said its president has called Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin to discuss the issue and that its government is holding an emergency meeting with producers and distributors.

Russia stopped all gas shipments to Ukraine on Jan. 1 after both countries failed to agree on prices and transit fees for next year.

To be honest with you, all News (CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CTV, CBC, Global, CityTV and BBC) ... they are fault! when I watched on TV and I saw some houses did blow up like empty because of gas accident, make me worried because I do use lighters when I need marijuana.

Yeah there are a lot of houses got on fire due to the gases, but my mom burned the house with the electric stove because the electric stove was broke and doesn't work properly, it just blow the electric on the walls and got fire.

my home is 100% electric too.
