NATO backs Ukraine's peace plan:** Outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urges member states to support Ukraine's peace initiative rather than China's.

Hungary and Switzerland have already expressed support for the Sino-Brazilian 'Friends of Peace' initiative, which is a list of six points without mentioning the UN Statute or Ukraine's territorial integrity. Türkiye is the only NATO member among the group of 17 countries that have joined the initiative. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described the Sino-Brazilian proposal as 'destructive'.

The End of Russian Gas Transit Through Ukraine: A Historic Shift and Its Implications

UkraineRussiaEuropegasenergy

As of January 1, 2025, Russian gas stops flowing to Europe via Ukraine, marking a historic shift in energy relations. Ukraine faces the loss of $800 million in transit fees, and the EU's gas imports from Russia will be significantly reduced. Central European countries, including Hungary and Serbia, receive gas from Russia via a different pipeline and are largely unaffected. The end of the transit deal could mean that eastern European countries will import more gas from north-western European markets. Ukraine is expected to meet its own gas demand but may need to import more from the EU during a colder-than-average winter. Europe's gas reserves have fallen, and the cold snap could increase demand for gas for heating, leading to further withdrawals from backup supplies.
