a warning shot to europe for the 1st time since the ukraine war. russia halts, gas applies to poland and bulgaria, failing to pay in roubles. ah, hello, i'm adrian said again. this is al jazeera alive from dough. also coming up, a quoted me on boston death row in singapore, fails. it's being called gas blackmail. russia has suspended supplies of 2 of ukraine's ally as poland and bulgaria. it's happened 2 months into the wall after he's refused to accept the new terms. bulgaria says that it's made alternative arrangements, and poland says that it's energy supplies are secure. and nasa magazine, if you're not sure if you're interested or gas storage is or 76 percent full,

this is a high level i'm feeling much higher than in most european countries. busy as well as our gas terminal interest in a which doesn't, which can receive even larger amounts of liquefied gas. we will try to rise to the occasion. and this is just a little time to research for cheques, bills, case editor in chief of visegrad insights, a political magazine. he explains why poland can manage without russian gas for poland. this doesn't mean much of course, there is uncertainty about the gas prices, but poland has invested over decades now in gas diversification. it can acquire gas through l n g ports. it is completing its baltic pipe together with denmark to provide, provide gas supplies from the nordic c. there is there also interconnect or between the countries around poland on the borders with poland and under neighboring countries, allowing for balancing the gas. so in terms of supplies,

these are secured, the gas prices, of course they will, there will be inflicted. this is expected to have higher gas prices for bulgaria. it's much more difficult situation because bulgaria is dependency on one source is much higher. it's close 90 percent, and for bulgaria, a mean it will mean that they will desperately look for reverse flows from the rest of europe. part of the european solidarity to provide gas supplies to this country on, on the edge. this is going to hurt. definitely russia because there will be no payment . this is a continuous policy of now payment intervals. russia will not require funds from the gas supplies. but is this also a warning charge? the rest of euro, specifically to germany, that is now it's slowly shifting its policy on sanctions, especially sanctions on oil, where poland is able to provide assistance to,

to supply oil through special port delivery, you know, and, and, and, and the pipes that will deliver it back to some land in germany, so it can be considered as a, as a strategy of russia to weaponized energy supplies and to hurt your a, but her europe is much more resilience than, than russia as expected gas. but europe is prepared for this scenario that is mapping out a coordinated e u response. she says europeans will stand united at in solidarity vladimir putin older troops, not the storm laplant, but to blockaded. instead, on tuesday, russia agreed in principle to allow the you and the red cross to help evacuate civilians from the steel plant. in maria pull after a meeting with the un secretary general, president vladimir putin told antonia antique letters that to antonia good harris. i'm sorry that there's no fighting in mary upon the roaches 2 or should we do here
