The International Energy Agency is anticipating an end to Russian gas flows through Ukraine after a transit deal expires at the end of the year, warning of a tough winter ahead for Kyiv and its neighbors.

“It is not excluded that some sort of continued arrangement for transit flows might yet be found,” the IEA said in a report Thursday. “But the base case assumption is that Russian transit flows via Ukraine will be discontinued from January 2025.”
