Then Ukrania said they will take away some gas what they need ergo Russia said they are stealing the gas and turned off the gas. So gas wasn't coming to Europe. Some places the houses were cold because there wasn't gas. If I'm right today it will turn out if they will turn it back or they won't send any gas to Europe. (France, German, Middle-Europe ect.. is facing big problems ' cuz of it, and my country too and the coldest days of the year are approaching too.)

I've heard about it several times in last few days... They are constantly talking about it on TV as well about the increasing riots in the Gaza (another topic).
I believe it's about the Gazprom, the largest Russian company, right? Also known as the Russian "milch cow." It's all about the money.
It's kinda ironic... Ukraine, the biggest European country is in a helpless situation; and together with Russia cannot come to the consensus. Russia is being obstinate. It's against the UE law to shut down over 100 gas-producing wells. Nevertheless, both Russia and Ukraine are being responsible for the gas crisis. It is unacceptable to see homes unheated, businesses closed and schools shut down in the middle of winter because of the commercial squabble. I really pity common people, little kids, elders and the animals.
