Physical deliveries of Russian gas via the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, which runs through Belarus and Poland to Germany, stopped on December 21. The reason for this situation was Gazprom's decision not to book transit facilities.
Also, Gazprom did not book additional capacities for the transit of natural gas through Ukraine in January.
