MOSCOW MILLS — Russia's Gazprom says it will cut the amount of gas it ships to Europe through Ukraine to make up for what it says Ukraine has stolen in recent days from pipelines crossing its territory.
The reduction of 65.3 million cubic meters, or about 20 percent of daily supply, was announced by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller during a televised meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Miller said reductions would continue daily depending on what Ukraine steals.
Gazprom cut off supplies to Ukraine on Jan. 1 in a dispute over pricing and overdue bills but kept sending gas for Europe.
Ukraine says Gazprom has not been supplying gas needed as fuel to send the gas westward, so it has been taking gas.
Miller said Gazprom would take steps to compensate European consumers.
