According to reports, the company has reserved the right to take any measures, including terminating its supply contract with Moldova.
Russia supplies Moldova with approximately two billion cubic meters of gas annually via Ukraine.
The gas flows to the separatist region of Transnistria, where it powers the production of inexpensive energy, which Transnistria sells to the rest of Moldova.
Moldova, with a population of 2.5 million, is preparing for prolonged power outages in the near future following Kyiv’s announcement that it will not renew its transit agreement with Gazprom.
The supply disruption marks the beginning of a full halt to Russian gas exports to Europe through Ukraine, with the transit agreement between Russia and Ukraine expiring on December 31.
