European gas futures jumped the most in more than a month after the leaders of Ukraine and Russia both ruled out the renewal of a key transit deal for the region.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy indicated Ukraine won’t transit Russian-origin gas unless he has assurances the Kremlin won’t benefit financially while the war continues. President Vladimir Putin said Kyiv has refused to extend the five-year deal beyond its expiry at year’s end.
