From October 1, Gazprom reduced gas supply to Moldova by 30% to 5. 7 million cubic meters. m per day if necessary in 8. 06 million cubic meters. The concern explained this with "technical problems" related to the restriction of transit through Ukraine. According to the back, Gazprom is guilty that Chisinau is forced to buy gas and electricity in the international market today. According to a representative of the Moldovan government, lawyers are already preparing details of the appeal.

"If the concern today fulfilled its contractual obligations with Moldova, the energy crisis would disappear, and everyone would have gas and energy. In that we have to buy gas and electricity in the international market, to blame Gazprom, and our lawyers are already They know these details to sue the Russian concern for failure to comply with the contract, "the politician commented.

He noted that the Moldova authorities, trying to close all internal gas needs, have to take loans and redirect funds from different items of budget for gas. Therefore, Chisinau will require the Russian concern to compensate for losses. "We signed the contract and were counting on Gazprom, he did not suggest to review or break it. The concern also did not suggest to reduce the volume of supply," the back says. According to Viceremier, a gas monopolist from Russia has become an unreliable partner.

"They cannot demand from us for gas for Transnistria. No one in Chisinau will ever agree and have a contract. We have all paid," he added. In addition, the back believes that Moldova has a "sovereign right" to store gas purchased from the Russians in Ukraine's storage facilities. "We can store bought gas anywhere. Not Putin is pointed to us," Viceremier emphasized.

Currently, Chisinau intends to cover the gas deficiency formed in December due to the reserves that the country pumping up to Ukraine and Romania gas transport systems. This is about 200 million cubic meters. m of gas, such volumes should be enough for one winter month consumption. We will remind, in November at Gazproma stated that Ukraine steals gas, which the Russian Federation transports to Moldova.
