The European Union is already ready to stop the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine from January 1, 2025. Thus, official Brussels supported Kyiv's decision, which aims to weaken the aggressor country Russia and its ability to wage war against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The European gas infrastructure is flexibly adapting to recent events and Kyiv's decisions.
  • The security of gas supply in the EU has been significantly improved thanks to energy efficiency and renewable energy measures.

The EU reacted to Ukraine's decision

The official statement on this matter was made by the Speaker of the European Commission, Peter Stano.

"The cessation of the flow (of gas) through Ukraine from January 1 is an expected event, and we are ready for it," he stressed.

According to Stano, the European Commission, in coordination with member states, has been actively working for over a year to prepare for a scenario where there is no Russian gas flowing through Ukraine.

In addition, as is known, Brussels was looking for alternative gas supply routes for member states that could be affected by such a transit suspension.

Peter Stano drew attention to the fact that the European gas infrastructure is flexible enough to ensure the supply of gas of non-Russian origin to Central and Eastern Europe through alternative routes.

Since 2022, it has been significantly strengthened by new LNG import capabilities.

Europe has already taken care of its security

According to Peter Stano, the security of gas supplies to the European Union has been significantly improved over the past few years.

What is important to understand is that this was achieved thanks to measures for the efficient use of energy and the development of renewable sources.

The negative impact of the end of transit (of gas) through Ukraine on the EU's security of supply is limited, the European Commission representative added.

In addition, it is indicated that the European Commission has not yet commented on the visit of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to discuss Ukraine's decision.

According to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, the policies of US President Donald Trump and his administration are bringing Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Russia out of isolation as an aggressor. Despite this, Ukraine is not going to give up and is ready for anything.

Points of attention

  • The Ukrainian leader expresses readiness for any situation and emphasizes gratitude for American aid, albeit noting discrepancies in reported figures.
  • Zelensky highlights the need for truthful information from Trump's team, pointing out the implications of US actions in potentially empowering Putin and the Kremlin.

Zelenskyy responded to US statements and decisions

I believe the US helped Putin come out of years of isolation through a full-scale invasion. No one is upset. We are ready for anything.

In addition, the head of state commented on the statements about "90% of aid from the US."

According to him, these are smaller numbers, but Ukraine is still very grateful to the States.

Against this background, Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Donald Trump's team to provide accurate and truthful data.

As the Ukrainian leader noted, right now the US is bringing Putin out of isolation and the Kremlin is happy about this:

"Yesterday there were already signals that they were being treated as victims. This is something new," the Ukrainian president was indignant.

The head of state also responded to Trump's statements that his support among Ukrainians is allegedly 4%.

If someone wants to change me right now, it won't work right now... if we're talking about 4%, then we've seen this disinformation, we understand that it comes from Russia, and we have evidence.
