European leaders have condemned Russia’s move to cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria as “blackmail” after the two NATO members had their supplies shut off for refusing to pay in rubles.

Moscow’s state-owned energy corporation Gazprom said in an April 27 statement that it had fully halted gas exports to Polish gas company PGNiG and Bulgaria’s Bulgazrgaz, which prompted a quick response from European Union leaders.
