Ukraine refused to renew the agreement on gas transit to Europe from Russia

Ukraine will not extend the agreement on the transit of Russian gas to Europe, which expires at the end of 2024. The head of the Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz, Alexey Chernyshov, announced this on Sunday, October 29.

“The agreement will end before the end of 2024, and we do not intend to continue it.  The contract will be completed - the transit will stop,” the Ukrainian publication “Strana.ua” quotes Chernyshov as saying.

He added that Ukraine is not terminating the contract right now only because of its European partners who need this transit, Gazeta.Ru reports.
