Summary

Ukraine has stopped Russian natural gas transit to Europe after a prewar deal expired, citing national security concerns amid the ongoing war.

This marks a significant shift, as Russian gas continued to flow through Ukraine’s pipelines for nearly three years post-invasion.

The move aligns with Europe’s broader goal to phase out Russian gas by 2027, with Russia’s market share already plummeting to 8%.

The halt impacts countries like Moldova and highlights Europe’s diversification efforts, including U.S. and Norwegian imports.

    Um… have to break this to you, but…

    Yes, Americans are fully happy with foreign nations buying up parts of it, as long as it’s capitalism.

      Part of Moldova is occupied by Russian army. Not sold. Occupied.

        Ok, so any country can buy the US. People will celebrate it, and not fight it.

        No need to airdrop a military, just cut a check.

          Yeah, that’s how it has been done for ages. At least when it comes to the administration. Best democracy money can buy.
