⚡️ Gazprom Halts Gas Deliveries to Moldova
Russia's Gazprom has announced that it will stop supplying natural gas to Moldova starting in January, citing Moldova's alleged failure to meet payment obligations.
This move comes as a transit agreement with Ukraine also expires, and Moldova faces a looming energy crisis. The Ukrainian government has already declared that it will no longer allow Russian gas to transit through its territory from January 1.
Moldova, which relies heavily on Russian gas via Ukraine, is preparing for widespread power outages. The country's debts to Gazprom are disputed, with Gazprom claiming Moldova owes $709 million, while Moldova asserts the amount is only about $9 million.
The energy shutdown could disrupt electricity sales from the breakaway region of Transnistria, which supplies power to Moldova.
