Russian Natural Gas Firm Gazprom has halted it's Ukraine routed gas supply line to Europe on the 7th.
Russian State Television reports that on the 1st, it halted gas supplies to Ukraine because of their breakdown in 2009 price negotiations. It said that the urgent measure was taken to prevent the "stealing" of gas.
Eight European Countries receive Russian gas via gas lines which run through Ukraine but over 10 have been affected by the halt of supply. With places like Bulgaria having trouble providing steam for central heating, affected supply companies are already feeling the pinch.
