Gazprom suspends gas supplies to Latvia.
Russian energy giant Gazprom says it has suspended gas supplies to Latvia – the latest EU country to face such a situation amid tensions with Ukraine.
Gazprom accused Latvia of violating the terms of the purchase, but did not provide details of that alleged violation. Latvia relies on neighboring Russia for natural gas imports, but its government says it does not expect Gazprom’s move to have a major impact.
Otherwise, Ukraine says it has killed 170 Russian troops in the last 24 hours. Ukraine’s military also said its forces had destroyed two Russian weapons depots in the Kherson area. Ukraine has stepped up efforts to drive the Russians out of Kherson, a major strategic city in the south.
