The European Union, under the guidance of Energy Commissioner Simson, is advancing measures to reduce its dependency on Russian LNG by introducing a new tool that allows member countries to temporarily block the booking of import capacity for Russian shipments. Concurrently, Ukraine, through its Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko, has declared its intention not to extend the gas transit contract with Russia's Gazprom. Galushchenko emphasized Ukraine's focus on strengthening energy security and independence by increasing domestic gas production and halting the transition of Russian gas. The current contract between Moscow and Kiev is set to expire in 2024, with Ukraine already engaging foreign companies for gas storage, according to Naftogaz.
