End of Russia-Ukraine gasoline deal: Will Germany fall again on Russian gasoline after the election? | DW News
The European Union says gas supplies are stable after deliveries of Russian gas via Ukraine ended on New Year’s Day. Russian gas accounted for less than 10 percent of the European Union’s gas imports in 2023, but some eastern members – including Slovakia and Hungary – were still heavily relying on them.
Just outside of the EU, the effects of the gas cuts were immediately felt in Moldova and especially its Russian-backed breakaway region of Transnistria, where heating and hot water supplies to households were cut off. Ukraine stopped the transit after a decade-long contract with Moscow expired. Kyiv said not renewing the deal was in the interests of national security, and a way to hurt Russia’s economy.
