Russia says gas supply to Europe uninterrupted
Despite an explosion at a critical pipeline in Ukraine the flow of gas to Europe has not been disrupted, Russia’s state-controlled gas company said Wednesday.
Tuesday’s explosion was not near the conflict between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russia separatists, and came one day after Russia shut off natural gas supplies to Ukraine following a disagreement over price.

While Ukraine’s energy minister said he has reason to believe “the blast was caused by sabotage,” Gazprom speculated the explosion may have been caused by poor maintenance.
