The EU's chief executive on Wednesday (local time) branded as "blackmail" Russian giant Gazprom's move to halt supplies to some European customers, but said the bloc was working on a coordinated response to Moscow's escalation.
Gazprom said it had cut supplies to Poland and Bulgaria for failing to pay for gas in roubles, Moscow's toughest response yet to sanctions imposed by the West over the conflict in Ukraine.

A peace lobby group has condemned the Government's plan to spend NZ$20 billion on defence out to 2030 now that it's been revealed global military spending has topped US$2 trillion.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) revealed this week that the United States, China, India, the United Kingdom and Russia were the top five defence spenders in 2021, together accounting for 62 percent of global expenditure.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Even with this boost from the previous governments, and the $20b Defence Capability Plan, New Zealand needs to spend at least 2% of GPD on Defence at present it sits about 1.6%. Now is not the time to make cut backs... it is the time to increase spending on defence.
People don't understand, that if you want to be a neutral country you better be able to defend that neutrality because no one is coming to your aid... and at the moment we can't even defend ourselves without the help of allies and partners and whether they would help is now even questionable. The NZDF has no offensive weapon capability and the best defence is going on the offense.
