Ukraine says it has halted the transport of Russian gas to European Union states through its territory, after a five-year transit deal expired Wednesday.

Ukraine's energy ministry said it ended the deal "in the interests of national security."

"We have stopped the transit of Russian gas. This is a historic event," the ministry said in a statement, adding that its gas transportation infrastructure had been prepared in advance of the expiration.
