Russia deepens Ukraine gas cuts
Russian gas monopoly Gazprom has cut supplies of gas to Ukraine again, and said further cuts may follow in the wake of a dispute over debts.
State-owned Gazprom cut supplies by a further 25% on Tuesday, following a 25% cut a day earlier - thereby cutting supplies by half.
Prior to the news, the EU called for an emergency internal meeting amid fears the row could hit European supplies.
Much of the gas Russia sells to Europe passes through pipelines in Ukraine.
