Russia PM Putin says gas transit to Europe may stop

Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday gas transit to Europe may stop at the end of June or in early July if Ukraine does not pay for pumping the gas into underground storage. Skip related content

"Gazprom will only supply the gas which has been prepaid. Without the gas pumped into storage Ukraine will simply not survive and will be forced to take gas destined for transit," Putin told a news conference in Helsinki.

"This may lead to a stoppage of gas transit to Europe in the end of June or start of July," Putin said.

No offense but hes a ahole, they always think they are better than everyone ..just because they control all the gas that we use back home doesnt mean that they are in control . i mean yeah sure they might manipulate Europe right noe , but im pretty sure that we have other sites in europe for gas...
They are punishing Europe for their fight with Ukraine. Fight thats been going on for ever!!!! Ah man get over it!!!
