Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhhorod Pipeline (Ukraine transit route)

Soviet-era pipeline system carrying Russian gas through Ukraine to Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. Transit contract between Gazprom and Ukraine's Naftogaz expired December 31, 2024 and was NOT renewed — Ukraine refused to extend due to war. Historically carried ~40-50 bcm/year; still carried ~14 bcm/year in 2023 (its last full year). Contract expiry on January 1, 2025 eliminated the last major direct Russia-Europe pipeline gas route (TurkStream via Turkey still operates at reduced volumes). Slovakia and Austria were primary destinations still receiving Russian gas via Ukraine through 2024. Source: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/ukraine-russia-gas-transit-deal-expires-2025-01-01/
