European countries without gas closed schools and factories
The gas crisis, involving Russia and Ukraine, forced several European countries to order the closure of factories and schools. A meeting between delegations from Moscow and Kiev ended yesterday without results and the European Union put forward the proposal of sending observers.
Countries such as Hungary, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Serbia and Turkey have been forced to take emergency measures, and called on Moscow to Belgrade to send gas through Belarus.
It is recalled that Russia cut off gas supplies through Ukraine, which accuses of closing their pipelines.
The proposal of sending monitors to check the flow of gas in Russia and Ukraine was welcomed by Moscow. The observers will be ready in two days.
