Gas transit

More details Ukraine's gas transit has become a focal point in recent geopolitical tension, with Slovakia and Hungary putting pressure on Kyiv to resume Russian gas flow. The cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukraine has drawn reactions from European leaders, with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico threatening to veto EU-level decisions and Hungarian PM Viktor Orban considering lifting sanctions on Russia. Despite the pressure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains firm on not resuming Russian gas transit, citing it as a significant setback for Moscow's influence in Europe. This situation has compelled European nations and the EU to explore alternative energy supply routes to reduce dependency on Russian gas, signaling a shift in the continental energy landscape.
