Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the end of Russian gas transit through Ukraine "one of Moscow's biggest defeats." Speaking on Wednesday, Zelensky highlighted that over 25 years ago, Russia pumped 130+ billion cubic meters of gas annually through Ukraine to Europe. Today, that figure stands at zero. "This marks a significant failure for Moscow," Zelensky stated on social media. The cessation reflects the collapse of energy dependency that once tied Europe to Russian supplies. The milestone underscores Ukraine's strategic progress in resisting Russian aggression while bolstering European energy diversification amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
