(ANSA) - Trieste, September 26 - Hungary said Friday it
would indefinitely halt the transit of natural gas to Ukraine
after Prime Minister Viktor Orban sealed a new deal with Russian
company Gazprom.
Hungarian pipeline operation FGSZ interrupted the flow of
gas, claiming a sudden rise in internal demand.
FGSZ has been providing Ukraine with 6.1 billion cubic
metres of gas a year since March 2013.
Ukrainian company Naftogaz said the move was unexpected and
breaches European energy market principles.
