Russia has expressed its desire to continue supplying gas to Europe

Russia has expressed its desire to continue supplying gas to Europe despite halting shipments through Ukraine on January 1, following the expiration of their transit contract.

Russia has expressed its intention to keep supplying gas to Europe, even after stopping shipments through Ukraine.

Russia's gas exports to Europe have been disrupted since January 1 after the transit contract with Ukraine expired and talks over renewal failed.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Russia is committed to continuing business with any European buyers interested in Russian gas, arguing it is more cost-effective than American liquefied natural gas.

Meanwhile, Slovakia and Hungary have urged the European Union to take action to restore gas transit through a major pipeline, with both countries pushing for renewed talks on the matter.
