For the first time since 1991, Russian gas no longer flows to the European Union via Ukraine. The five-year deal between Ukraine’s Naftogaz and Russia’s Gazprom has expired, marking the end of an era.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated earlier that Ukraine would not allow Russia to "earn billions on our blood," giving the EU a year to prepare. The European Commission reassures that the continent’s gas system is "resilient and flexible," with alternative sources in place.

However, the strategic impact is significant. Slovakia, a key transit point, is most affected, causing tensions with Ukraine. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s recent visit to Moscow and threats to cut electricity exports to Ukraine have sparked criticism from Zelensky, who accused Fico of aiding Russian aggression.

Meanwhile, Moldova, reliant on gas transiting through Ukraine, has declared a state of emergency in its energy sector. President Maia Sandu denounced Russia’s actions as “blackmail.”

As Europe pivots away from Russian gas, sources like liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar and the U.S., as well as piped gas from Norway, are taking precedence. While this transition underscores Europe’s commitment to energy independence, its geopolitical implications are profound.
