Ukraine's Naftogaz plans to stop transiting Russian gas to Europe after the contract expires in 2024, according to its CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov.

According to him, Ukraine is ready to abandon gas transit, but does not want to put its EU partners at risk.

⁉️Why is Russian gas still transiting through Ukraine?

The answer is simple — exclusively for the support of Ukraine's European colleagues.

"We have a contract, the terms of which we must fulfill. We can't break the deal with our European partners.", CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov explained.

At the same time, it is known that the EU plans to completely abandon the consumption of Russian gas by 2027, therefore it does not insist on the continuation of Ukrainian transit.

There have been no requests from European companies to continue transit.

The contract ends at the end of next year, and the story of gas transit will then come to its end.
