Kirby stated that we are witnessing Kyiv's greatest victory over Moscow.

The United States has expressed support for Ukraine's decision to halt the transit of Russian gas to Europe, emphasizing its significant impact on the Russian economy. This move will be not just symbolic for Moscow, but also a financially painful blow, as annual losses from the cessation of transit are estimated at $6.5 billion.

This was reported by Glavpost, citing politexpert.net.

White House advisor John Kirby stated at a briefing that this development represents a serious defeat for the Kremlin.

“This will deprive Russia of approximately $6.5 billion in annual revenue from gas sales to Europe. It is one of the largest and most costly defeats for Moscow,” he emphasized.

Previously, over 130 billion cubic meters of Russian gas were transported through Ukraine each year. Today, that figure stands at zero. Kirby described this as not only an economic but also a strategic victory for Ukraine.

The United States actively supports European countries in their efforts to reduce dependence on Russian energy resources. The advisor noted that 50% of all liquefied natural gas imports to Europe now come from the United States.

Speaking about the cessation of gas transit, it is worth recalling that Fico challenged Zelensky: what is the reason for the conflict and what does the Prime Minister of Slovakia intend?
