Russia is getting serious: On Tuesday evening, the Polish government announced that it would no longer receive Russian gas from Wednesday. A little later, Bulgaria also announces this.
According to the government in Sofia, Russia no longer wants to supply natural gas to Poland, but also to Bulgaria as of Wednesday.
The Ministry of Energy confirmed on Tuesday evening that the Bulgarian natural gas company Bulgargas had received a corresponding notification from Gazprom.
