Ukraine stops transit of Russian gas to EU | BBC News
A decades-long arrangement allowing Russian gas to flow to EU states via Ukraine has ended after a five-year deal expired.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country would not allow Russia to “earn additional billions on our blood” and had given the EU a year to prepare.
Russia can still send gas to Hungary, Turkey and Serbia through the TurkStream pipeline across the Black Sea.
The European Commission said the continent’s gas system was “resilient and flexible” and that it could cope with the change. Slovakia, however, could face disruption and Moldova, which is not in the EU, is already suffering shortages.

prices up away
Wait. So when my gas bill went up because we were no longer getting cheap Russian gas, that was bullshit? Were British gas just chasing in on a war?
С полным отказом от российского газа экономика Евросоюза резко ускорится и оставит далеко позади экономику Китая и Штатов😂😂😂.
Did Zelenskij just said "Me Heil" at the biginning?
Will go to an asian/ Middle eastern broker and find its way into Europe at a higher cost
So Zelensky sacrificed her so called mother "Ukraine" only in favor of wolf USA satisfaction 🤔
That sounds foolish indeed isn't it!
These dumb Europeans didn't know that you all are in between the interests of the USA and its so-called oil and weapon complex. The USA only needs to earn money and has nothing to do with establishing peace in Europe. And Zelensky is now the puppet of the USA destabilizing every piece of the ground in Europe. Seriously I didn't know that Europeans were so dumb 😂😂😂😂 they can't even anticipate that this is all about the USA making the money that's all so dumb 😂😂😂😂😂
In the future, Russia, won’t be sending oil and gas to countries, which support Ukraine. Russia has those, who supported them.
Well played Ukraine
Ukraine depends on EU money, for that Ukraine cut gas for EU, bravo. EU send them more money 🤑
I thought we quit getting gas from Russia already, life's gotten way more expensive. Now they tell this? What should we prepare for now? Finding other suppliers isn't the difficult part, but keeping it affordable is hahaha
Thumbs down for Ukraine 😅😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy paying for it and been cold 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trump drill baby ❤❤❤❤
Don't be fulled ! Ukraine didn't cut the gas supply from Russia. The US did !!! The US cut the supply of gas using it's "agent" Ukraine. Now the US will sell much more of LNG at an inflated price to Europe …
Disband Nato now !!!
That’s 1 reason why Putin wants to invade Ukraine because of the pipeline that the Ukraine can shut it off. Russian loosing its market share in EU is not economically for Putin.
Idk about u but i like my gas cheap. The salary isn’t getting bigger
Ukraine was told to pull this move and freeze out their neighbours affordable heat in dead of winter they are being thrown their way mass funding and war machines same time they suppose show a power move. What are your end game cia?
England behind the curtain wagging its tail. Why don't you spend everything you stole around the world?
The United States, under the leadership of future President Donald Trump, and Russia allegedly pose a serious threat to Europe's security, the British newspaper Financial Times said.

Why dont we get Energy from Canada? They sell to America!
So do we have to get fuel from the Americans now most probably double the price?
