Gas supplies from Russia fall by 9.5 percent on Monday

The supplies of Russian gas to the Czech Republic dropped by 9.5 percent on Monday. The Czech Republic’s biggest natural gas supplier RWE Transgas says it received 1.7 million cubic metres less gas than originally agreed with the Russian partner. The drop came after Sunday’s five-percent fall in the pressure of gas supplies to the Czech Republic due to a dispute between Russia and Ukraine over prices and payment. A number of other countries in the region have also seen reduced supplies of gas over the weekend.
