The Ministry of Economy says that there is no need to worry.

The German government assures that it is not worried about Ukraine’s decision not to continue the transit of Russian gas to Europe.

ntv writes about this , referring to the statement of the German Ministry of Economy. It is noted that the country is able to maintain the supply of natural gas not only to the south and east of Germany, but also to neighboring countries, even if the transit through Ukraine is stopped.

“German liquefied natural gas terminals are an insurance policy against natural gas shortages, even for landlocked European countries,” the statement said.

Ukraine will stop gas transit from Russia

As you know, in 2019 Naftogaz of Ukraine and Russia’s Gazprom signed an agreement on gas transit through Ukrainian territory. Her term expires already this year.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that Kyiv does not plan to discuss with Russia the extension of this agreement or the approval of a new one.

During a recent press conference with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, he repeated his statement and called on all European countries to completely abandon Russian oil and gas.

As you know, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary have until now received gas from Russia through Ukraine. Fico said that he wanted to convince Ukraine to preserve the transit .
