• will not take that allocation from transit pipelines if Russia turns off supply

Comments out this morning from Ukraine energy minister Yuri Prodan after Russia had accused them of siphoning/stealing gas from pipelines that cross its territory during previous price rows.

The news comes in the wake of the story here that Ryan reported yesterday, where Ukraine said it was in emergency talks to import gas from its European neighbours.

I’m off out for the rest of the day. Nothing else I can see on the news front so far.

Have a great week-end everyone
