Russia turns off the gas to Poland and Bulgaria
Russia said it will stop natural gas flows to Poland and Bulgaria on Wednesday, making good on a threat to cut off buyers if they refuse Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand to pay in rubles. European gas prices surged.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, seeking to revive diplomatic efforts to end the war more than two months after Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hosted talks with officials from more than 40 countries at Ramstein Air Base in Germany to discuss ways of boosting weapons supplies to Ukraine. Violence flared in the nearby breakaway Transnistria region of Moldova.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Doesn't this really smack of desperation on Russia's part?

I think they've been threatening this since day 1 of the invasion.

Neither country appears to be at all concerned about this.
Over the next few months a few of the bigger gas contracts with European states will come up for renewal. Should be entertaining to see what unfolds.
@Renauda I read that a pipeline to Poland will be completed by June from, I believe, Turkey.

That has been circulating around here for the past week or so. Although I would not put it past the Moscow Patriarchate and some Orthodox prelates and priests to disseminate spew like this, it has not been reported outside of social media. I did some digging and found the following:

My personal anti-clerical bias aside, I too would regard it as Fake until such time it can be corroborated by a credible third party agency.
