Moldova declares state of emergency due to gas prices / Article


In addition, Russia has raised the price of gas from $ 550 to $ 790 per 1,000 cubic meters, but it is not realistic for the poorest country in Europe to pay such a price.

Although the Russian gas group Gazprom and its subsidiary Moldovagaz have reached an agreement on gas supplies by the end of October, according to Prime Minister Gavrilici, these commitments are not being met and the necessary pressure is lacking in the pipelines.

However, Moldovagaz encourages consumers that all customers will receive the promised amount of gas. However, the introduction of a state of emergency makes it easier for the government to seek energy resources elsewhere than in Russia.

Both Romania and Ukraine have already provided assistance. Some experts admit that the increase in gas prices is Russia’s attempt to increase pressure on pro-European Moldovan President Maya Sandu, who has promised to move closer to the European Union, as well as regain full control of the Transnistrian region, through which Moldova receives natural gas from Russia.
