Russian gas flows to Europe via Ukraine stopped as a key transit deal expired, raising the stakes for the continent’s energy security as it draws heavily on reserves.
“Due to the repeated and explicit refusal of the Ukrainian side” to extend five-year agreements, Gazprom PJSC “was deprived of the technical and legal opportunity to supply gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 2025,” the Russian gas giant said in a Telegram statement.
