Natural gas shipments through a vital pipeline from Russia to Europe stopped on Wednesday as confirmed by officials from both nations.
The decision to not renew the agreement allows for gas transit, which had continued even post-Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod pipeline was originally constructed during the Soviet era, facilitating the delivery of Siberian gas to Europe.
This pipeline was critical for Europe, especially after the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022, further limiting Russia’s gas export routes.
Ukraine's move is anticipated to affect Europe’s energy sector significantly and may impact Moscow's funding for the ongoing war efforts.
