It is noted that transit was stopped at 07:00 a.m. on January 1, 2025. Ukraine has informed its international partners in accordance with the established procedure.
"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.
As a result, since January 1, Ukraine's gas transportation system has been operating in a mode without Russian gas transit.
