Ukraine said on Wednesday (January 1, 2025) that the transit of Russian natural gas through its territory had been halted as of 7 a.m. local time (0500 GMT), citing “national security”.
The statement by Kyiv’s Energy Ministry comes amid the expiration of a five-year contract between Gazprom and Ukraine’s Naftogaz.
“We stopped the transit of Russian gas. This is a historic event,” it quoted energy minister German Galushchenko as saying.
