Starting Jan. 1, 2025, Ukraine’s gas transmission system ceased transporting Russian gas. The transit of natural gas from the Sudzha entry point on Ukraine’s eastern border to exit points on its western and southern borders has been terminated.
This was announced in a statement by Ukraine’s Gas Transmission System Operator (GTSOU).
The transit agreement with Russia’s Gazprom expired at 7 a.m. Kyiv time on Jan. 1, 2025.
GTSOU CEO Dmytro Lippa stated that the company had prepared its infrastructure in advance to operate without Russian gas and to ensure reliable supply to Ukrainian consumers.
He noted that the company’s team is ready to operate under the new conditions. GTSOU also secured agreements to increase capacity for importing gas into Ukraine and transporting it to European consumers. Additionally, the operator optimized unused assets within the gas transmission system.
“In 2024, Ukraine for the first time secured guaranteed increased capacity in the southern direction—this is the Vertical Corridor—as well as guaranteed capacity from Poland,” the statement read.
