Polish and Bulgarian officials said Tuesday that Russian energy company Gazprom informed them it was suspending natural gas supplies to the two countries for their refusal to pay in Russian rubles.

The suspensions, which would take effect Wednesday, would be the first since Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that "unfriendly" foreign buyers would have to pay the state-owned Gazprom in rubles instead of dollars and euros.

Poland's state gas company, PGNiG, said it was informed by Gazprom that its deliveries through the Yamal-Europe pipeline would stop Wednesday morning. Poland has been a strong supporter of neighboring Ukraine during the Russian invasion. It is a transit point for weapons the United States and other Western nations have provided Ukraine.

Several years ago it opened its first terminal for liquefied natural gas in Swinoujscie, on the Baltic Sea coast, while later this year a pipeline bringing gas from Norway, called "Baltic Pipe," is to become operational.
