Big news from Europe: Russian gas transit through Ukraine has officially ended, marking a monumental shift in the region’s energy landscape. Once making up 40% of the EU’s gas imports, Russian gas now accounts for less than 10%. While countries like Slovakia and Austria still depend on it, the EU is diversifying rapidly—bringing in US and Qatari LNG and tapping into Norway’s pipelines. Tensions are mounting, with Slovakia threatening Ukraine, but Poland stepping in to support Kyiv. As Moldova faces an energy crisis, the question remains—who will feel the heat more?
