Ukraine halts transit of Russian gas to Europe after a prewar deal expired

LA Times  

A view of Lakhta Centre, the headquarters of Russian gas monopoly Gazprom in St. Petersburg, Russia. Ukraine on Wednesday halted Russian gas supplies to European customers through its pipeline network after a prewar transit deal expired at the end of last year. Separately from Kyiv’s decision to let the transit deal expire, Gazprom said last month it would halt gas supplies to Moldova starting Wednesday, citing unpaid debt. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said Wednesday that the end of gas flows via Ukraine “will drastically affect us all in the EU but not Russia.” Fico, whose views on Russia have sharply differed from the European mainstream, has previously hit out at Kyiv’s refusal to extend the transit deal, and threatened to end electricity supplies to Ukraine in response. The steady reduction of Russian gas supplies to European countries has also spurred them to hasten the integration of Ukraine’s energy grids with its neighbors to the west.
