Ukraine Halts Russian Gas Transit as Frontline Fighting Intensifies

Kyiv's decision to end a major gas transit deal marks a financial blow to Moscow, while Russian forces push for gains in eastern Ukraine.

• Ukraine has ceased Russian gas transit to Europe via its pipelines, citing national security concerns, resulting in a €5 billion annual revenue loss for Russia.
• The halt leaves Moldova's breakaway Transnistria region struggling with energy shortages, while European countries have secured alternative gas supplies.
• Russian forces are advancing in eastern Ukraine, with significant pushes near Pokrovsk and Kursk, as Ukrainian troops face exhaustion after months of relentless fighting.
• Ukrainian President Zelensky has expressed optimism about working with incoming U.S. President Trump, suggesting his unpredictability could help end the war.
• The U.S. has announced $5.9 billion in new aid to Ukraine, including military and economic support, as Kyiv braces for further Russian offensives.
