Kiev/Moscow, Shawwal 12, 1435, Aug 8, 2014, SPA -- Ukraine on Friday warned that it might cut Russian oil and gas transit flows to Europe and ban Russian airlines from crossing its airspace, dpa reported. The measures are part of a sanctions bill targeting Moscow that will be submitted to parliament, Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk said in Kiev. Yatsenyuk explained that it could include complete or partial bans on transit of all manner of resources, including energy resources and overflights. Ukraine is the key country for the transport of Russian oil and gas to Europe. Previous energy disputes have resulted in supply cuts for European consumers. Russia in June halted its gas deliveries to Ukraine because of a payment dispute. Yatsenyuk said that the Ukrainian parliament is expected to vote on the bill next Tuesday. -- SPA 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1261055
