Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक


The European Parliament has adopted a resolution with 529 votes in favour to 45 against and 14 abstentions that calls on heads of state – who hold their summit on Thursday and Friday – to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova “without delay”.

They should do the same with Georgia “once its government has delivered” on the priorities indicated by the European Commission, the parliament said in a statement.

“Ukrainians, Moldovans and Georgians deserve to live in free, democratic and prosperous countries that are proud and committed members of the European family,” it added.

Russia cuts off gas supply to Poland and Bulgaria

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Russia’s state-owned energy company Gazprom has said it will cut off Russian gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, two countries that have been supporting and providing military aid to Ukraine.

Russia has said it has cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria because of their continued military support to Ukraine and its reluctance to pay in rubles.

Russia’s move has been opposed by most European nations since the Kremlin proposed that Russian enemies pay in rubles. However, in response to the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, Russia demanded that the payment to be made in Russian rubles in every trade with Russia.

Oil and gas prices in the United States and European countries have risen to 40-year highs since Russia cut off supplies.
