«We have stopped the transit of Russian gas, this is a historic event. Russia is losing markets and will suffer financial losses. Europe has already made a decision to refuse Russian gas. And the European initiative Repower EU envisages exactly what Ukraine has done today», said Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.

Since 1 January, Ukraine's gas transmission system has been operating in a mode without Russian gas transit. The gas transmission system infrastructure has been prepared in advance for zero transit and reliable gas supply to Ukrainian consumers.

As a reminder, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine would not continue transiting Russian gas.

Later, Russia's «Gazprom» announced that from 1 January 2025, it would stop gas supplies to Moldova's Transnistria due to «failure to fulfil payment obligations».
