Putin threatens to cut Europe off from Russian gas from tomorrow

The Metro says Vladimir Putin has threatened to cut gas supply to ‘unfriendly countries’ from tomorrow.

The Russian president signed a decree ordering nations which import energy to open accounts with a state-linked bank and pay for it in rubles.

If not, the Kremlin warned, they will be ‘in breach of contract’ and supplies will stop.

Europe has been trying to end its reliance on Russian gas in response to the Ukraine invasion but it is expected to take years to do so in full.
