Before the meeting with the European leaders in Milano Russian President Vladimir Putin said the gas deliveries to Europe could be reduced, as it happened in 2008, in case of theft on the territory of Ukraine.
President Putin also added that Russia is going to reduce gas supplies to Ukraine, if Ukraine illegally pumps out gas, Reuters reported.
“There are great transit risks. If we notice that our Ukrainian partners illegally pump out gas from the pipeline, as it happened in 2008, then we will reduce the supply by the same amount,” said Russian President at a press conference after the talks with the Serbian administration.
