Russia suffers massive defeat: Ukraine stops gastransit to Europe!

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenski has announced a historical turning point in energy policy by declaring the stop of the Gastransit from Russia by Ukraine. "Today the transit on Russian gas is zero," said Selenski. He described this step as "one of the largest defeats of Moscow", especially in the context of the 25th anniversary of Vladimir Putin's presidency in Russia. The gastransite had identified over 130 billion cubic meters annually 25 years ago, and now this number has dropped to zero. The stop does not come into force without preparation, since most of the European countries have adjusted to this in time, as n-tv.de

The Ukrainian government has emphasized that the cessation of the gastransit is also a direct attack on the sources of the Russia's sources of financing for the ongoing war. Selenski also called for more gas deliveries to Europe from the United States to overcome the negative consequences of the European energy dependency of Russia in the energy transition. The spin-offs of the Gaspops affect the Republic of Moldova, which requires financial support, while Slovakia and Hungary currently have to feel the effects of the delivery freezer, such as Today.

Selenski announced that Ukraine would do “everything” to end the Russian attack war. "We know that peace is not given to us, but we will do everything we can to stop Russia and end the war," he said in his New Year's address. The Ukrainian Minister of Energy Herman Haluschtschenko described the Transit stop as a "historical event", which will provide Russia markets and thus also financial loss. This ends an era of constant gastransit that could drastically change the geopolitical landscapes in Europe.
