Russia has officially ceased gas exports to Europe through Ukraine, a route that has functioned for five decades, following Ukraine's refusal to allow transit fees that would finance Russia's military efforts. This cessation complicates energy supply for several Central European countries, pushing them to seek more expensive alternatives, while Ukraine insists on avoiding any agreement that would benefit Russia amid ongoing conflict. This situation has heightened concerns over energy security in the region as gas prices soar, highlighting the European Union's struggle to diversify its energy sources away from Russian dependency.
