I dunno, how the other the peeps are doing, but for Germany it looks like this:

gas supply from Russia 37 %, part of it via the Ukraine,

Norway 26 %,

Netherlands 18 %,

Germany 15 %,

Denmark 4 %.

Pipelines from Russia to Germany go via the Ukraine, Belarus and Poland.
Gazprom (Russia) has announced, that it will reduce the gas transfer via the Ukraine and that it will make more use of the Belarus and Poland pipelines.
It seems, that the Ukraine, quote from the article: " RUSSIA had drastically cut gas supplies to Europe, the Ukraine Government says", is looking for allies.

Gazprom statement:

I am a little bit worried about England, though. Its energy demand at present is fullfilled with 80 % seabird guano from Iceland and with 20 % marsh gases from French cows. Potential gas transfer from Russia to England would happen through pipelines via Germany. Though luck!
