**俄罗斯切断对乌克兰天然气供应**

俄罗斯能源巨头国家天然气公司说,由于乌克兰未在星期一的最后期限之前偿付将近20亿美元天然气欠款,该公司将切断对乌克兰的天然气供应。

俄罗斯国家天然气公司说,乌克兰错过了最后期限,因此今后必须预先为该公司供应的所有天然气付款。

俄罗斯国家天然气公司星期一还向斯多哥尔摩仲裁法院提出告诉,试图讨回乌克兰拖欠的45亿美元债务。

乌克兰是天然气输往欧洲其他地区的通道。俄罗斯国家天然气公司已经通知欧洲国家,经由乌克兰的石油供应不会受到影响,但同时警告说,如果乌克兰决定截取天然气,该公司的天然气供应可能受到干扰。该公司发言人说,乌克兰国家天然气公司有义务确保天然气输送到欧洲客户。

自4月以来,俄罗斯和乌克兰一直陷于能源争端,俄罗斯将提供给乌克兰的天然气价格提高了几乎一倍,把每1000立方米的价格涨至480美元。俄罗斯方面后来提出降价20%左右,但基辅谈判代表寻求接近原价的更大幅度降价。

**Russia Cuts Gas Supply to Ukraine**

Russian energy giant Gazprom says it is cutting gas supplies to Ukraine following Kyiv's failure to meet a Monday deadline to pay nearly $2 billion of its outstanding debt.

Gazprom says Ukraine must now pre-pay for any natural gas after missing the deadline.

Also Monday, Gazprom filed a lawsuit in a Stockholm arbitration court to try to recover Ukraine's entire $4.5 billion debt.

Ukraine is a conduit for gas supplies to other parts of Europe. Gazprom notified European countries that shipments through Ukraine will not be affected, but warned there could be a disruption if Ukraine decides to siphon off the gas. A Gazprom spokesman said Ukraine's state-owned Naftogaz is obliged to make sure the gas reaches its European customers.

Russia and Ukraine have been embroiled in the energy dispute since April when Moscow nearly doubled the price of gas to Ukraine to $480 per 1,000 cubic meters. Russia has since offered about a 20 percent discount, but Kyiv negotiators have sought a deeper price cut, closer to the original price.


**世界杯:葡萄牙队周一迎战德国队**


在巴西举行的足球世界杯首轮比赛中,现任世界足球先生罗纳尔多星期一将带领葡萄牙队迎战德国队。葡萄牙队和德国队都是世界顶级强队。

G组的美国队和加纳队以及F组的伊朗队和尼日利亚队也将在星期一进行比赛。

在星期日的比赛中,阿根廷队的梅西射入自己2006年以来在世界杯比赛中的第一个进球,帮助本队以二比一战胜波黑队。在罗纳尔多之前,梅西连续四年荣获世界足球先生称号。

星期日,法国队凭借本泽马的两个进球和首个用“鹰眼”技术判断的进球,以三比零击败洪都拉斯队。

星期日最激动人心的比赛在瑞士队和厄瓜多尔队之间展开。两队以一比一的比分进入加时赛。两分半之后,瑞士队的塞夫洛维奇接到左侧传球,将球射入对方球门的左上角,一举奠定胜局。

Germany-Portugal Tops World Cup Schedule Monday

The reigning top football ((soccer)) player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, leads his Portugal squad against Germany at the World Cup in Brazil on Monday in an opening-round match between two of the world's top-ranked teams.

The rest of Group G - the United States and Ghana - also face off Monday along with a Group F match between Iran and Nigeria.

Argentina's Lionel Messi, who was player of the year four times in a row before Ronaldo, scored his first World Cup goal since 2006 on Sunday to lead his team to a 2-1 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Also Sunday, France defeated Honduras 3-0 thanks to two goals from Karim Benzema and the first score to be decided using the camera-based goal-line technology.

The most exciting contest Sunday was between Switzerland and Ecuador, who were tied 1-1 as the game went into extra time. Two and a half minutes later, Switzerland's Haris Seferovic took a pass from the left side and directed it past the Ecuador keeper into the top left corner of the net for the winner.
