Gazprom reduces supplies to several states

The Italian group ENI announced that it would receive only 65 percent of the requested gas volume from the Russian supplier Gazprom. On Wednesday, ENI had initially reported a 15 percent cut. Slovakian gas importer SPP said it was seeing a reduction of around 30 percent. Austria and the Czech Republic also reported reduced supplies.
