The Moldovan side constantly reminds that it is asking for much more Russian gas than it currently receives.

Moldova resumed the virtual reverse of gas to Ukraine at the border gas measuring station of Hrebeniki (the main corridor for the supply of Russian gas to Moldova).

As reported by the Russian Interfax, nominations were announced both in the direct and reverse direction (from Moldova to Ukraine).

Of the 6.1 million cubic meters declared for transit to Moldova on the gas day of November 29, most of it — 3.9 million cubic meters — was declared as a reverse to Ukraine. At the same time, the Moldovan side constantly reminds that it is asking for much more Russian gas than it currently receives.

The war in Ukraine and the gas situation in Moldova:

“Gazprom” announced its intention to stop supplying gas to Moldova via Ukraine from November 28.

On October 1, Gazprom cut gas supplies to Moldova by 30%. At that time, Vice Prime Minister Andriy Spinu said that supplies were being reduced due to technical problems, and Chisinau would ask for an increase in supplies.

In addition, he reported that Moldova has about 53.5 million cubic meters of gas in underground storage facilities in Ukraine and Romania.

On November 3, Moldova imported gas for the first time under the reverse scheme. Energocom bought 5.6 million cubic meters of gas, importing it through the connection point “Budnica” in Slovakia.

On November 22, “Gazprom” announced that it was allegedly recording a decrease in gas supplied to consumers in Moldova and threatened to reduce the volume of gas supplies to Chisinau.

In turn, “Operator of GTS of Ukraine” denied accusations of theft of gas destined for Moldova. The company assured that the volumes entering from “Suzhi” are transferred at the points of exit from Ukraine to Moldova “Oleksiivka” and “Grebenyki” in full.

On November 28, 2022, Gazprom abandoned plans to stop supplying gas to Moldova through Ukraine. Such a statement was made by Gazprom, noting that “Moldovagaz” eliminated violations regarding payment to Gazprom for current deliveries of Russian gas in November.
