Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Earlier on January 1, Russia's Gazprom announced that after the end of the five-year contract, it no longer has the technical or legal ability to transit gas through Ukraine. As a result, the price of natural gas in the European market has increased by 20%.
Previously, in the first hours of the new year 2025, the transfer of Russian natural gas to Europe through Ukraine was stopped.
This stoppage occurred due to the termination of the transit agreement between the two countries and the inability of Moscow and Kiev to reach a new agreement during the current war.
The Russian state company Gazprom announced in a statement: "Due to the repeated and clear refusal of the Ukrainian side to renew these agreements, Gazprom technically and legally lost the possibility of supplying gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine."
The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine also announced that the transportation of Russian gas through Ukraine was stopped "due to the interests of national security".
"We have stopped the transit of Russian gas," Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said in a statement. This is a historic event. Russia will lose its markets and suffer financial losses. "Europe has already decided to abandon Russian gas."
