  1. Turning off the tap….

    Ukraine’s state oil and gas company Naftogaz will not renew the agreement on the transit of Russian gas. The Ukrainian government is looking for alternative decisions to support the operation of the Ukrainian gas transportation system.

    **Source:** Oleksii Chernyshov, the chairman of the board of Naftogaz, in an interview for the[ Liga.net](https://biz.liga.net/ua/all/all/interview/oleksii-chernyshov-pro-zruinovanu-infrastrukturu-vydobutok-hazu-i-finansy-naftohazu) media outlet

    **Quote:** “I can say with certainty that Naftogaz will not renew the transit agreement with the Gazprom company. We are not holding negotiations and are not planning to do it.”

    Chernyshov stated that at the moment only 4% of the total need of European countries for gas is being transported through Ukraine by transit.

    “In fact, we are looking for alternatives. For instance, businesses from Azerbaijan contacted us. Specifically, the Socar company. But so far there has been no final decision. And it’s early to talk about that,” Chernyshov added.

  3. This is surreal!

    All out war on one hand! Polite transit of gas on the other.

    This reminds me of Dune! The spice must flow.

  4. Countdown until Russia starts bombing Naftogaz offices and infrastructure?

  6. EU was pushing Ukraine to not stop transit because it might be inconvenient for some EU countries like Hungary and Slovakia. Orban did his “peace seeking” trip around the world. Then ukrainian government asked “can we stop the transit now?” and EU was like “fuck it, do whatever you want, we don’t care about pissing off Hungary anymore” 😆

  10. Transit is now by drones, delivering the desired material directly to the fractioning columns for a better efficiency.

    A (very) bright future for gazporm.
