France's gas supplies have so far not been affected by the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine, French gas utility GDF Suez's CEO Gerard Mestrallet said Tuesday.

"The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has no impact on our contracts, long-term supply or gas supplies to our customers. There is no concern about gas supplies to French consumers," he said.

France's gas supplies from Russia are not threatened, said French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde in Paris on Monday, after talks with Alexander Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russian gas exporter Gazprom.

Gazprom on Tuesday cut supplies to Europe via Ukraine to around two-thirds of its normal flow, which has caused gas shortages in several European countries, especially Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Poland.
