Ukraine says Russia has cut off all gas supplies to Kiev, in a major escalation of a dispute between the two nations.<\/p>\n

“Gas supplies to Ukraine have been reduced to zero,” Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuri Prodan said.<\/p>\n

Russia’s state-owned gas giant Gazprom said Ukraine had to pay upfront for its gas supplies, after Kiev failed to settle its huge debt.<\/p>\n

Gazprom had sought from Kiev $1.95bn (\u00a31.15bn) – out of $4.5bn it says it is owed – by 06:00 GMT.<\/p>\n

The company said it would continue to supply gas to Europe, although Gazprom chief Alexei Miller warned there now were “significant” risks for gas transit to the EU via Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russia-Ukraine ties remain tense since Moscow annexed Crimea in February.<\/p>\n

Kiev says Moscow backs separatists in the east of the country. Russia denies the charge.<\/p>\n
