Zelenskyy proposes ban on Ukrainian natural gas to continue in 2024
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed extending the current export ban on Ukrainian natural gas for the whole of 2024, according to a presidential decree, translated via Google.
Ukraine initially introduced the export ban soon after the invasion in February 2022, and it was then extended to cover 2023.
The decree included a proposal for the “establishment in 2024 of a zero export quota for gas of natural Ukrainian origin” in a list of measures to be taken within the next six months.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine heavily impacted global gas supply chains, sending gas prices skyrocketing in the initial weeks of the war.
