European Commission addresses halt of Russian gas flow through Ukraine
The European Union was prepared to halt the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine on January 1, 2025, according to the European Commission, Suspilne reports.
The European Commission said it has been working with EU member states for over a year to prepare for the potential halt of Russian gas transit.
They developed measures to ensure alternative gas supplies for affected countries, noting that Europe’s gas infrastructure is flexible enough to deliver non-Russian gas to Central Eastern European nations via alternative routes.
Since 2022, significant new LNG import capacities have been added.
The EU's gas supply network has been further strengthened by increased energy efficiency and a push for renewable energy.
The country informed international partners in the proper manner.
Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko emphasized that Ukraine had completed all necessary preparations and is "absolutely ready for the system to function without Russian gas."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
