Dmitry Peskov refused to answer the question of which country Slovakia will receive Russian gas.
Russia considers the gas supply situation in unrecognized Transnistria a “crisis” and blames Ukraine and Moldova for it. Kremlin Speaker Dmitry Peskov said this at a briefing on Thursday, January 9.
“For many years, Russia supplied natural gas, where, in fact, Pridnestrovie lived Today, due to the decisions of Ukraine and the Moldovan authorities, Pridnestrovie missed this opportunity,” he said .
At the same time, Peskov refused to answer the question of where Slovakia will receive Russian gas.
“Here I am now refraining from any comments… In fact, in Europe there are still states that are interested in receiving more competitive Russian natural gas, and these countries want to buy it And supplies of such gas can make the national economy and the economy of these countries more competitive.” , he said.
We remind you that on January 1, Ukraine suspended the transit of Russian gas. The contract with Gazprom has expired. As a result, gas supplies to Transnistria (left bank) via Moldova (right bank) were also stopped. The buyer of gas from Gazprom is its subsidiary Moldovagaz, which sends the entire volume of purchased fuel to Transnistria.
Right Bank Moldova has been buying gas for domestic needs from European suppliers for several years. And Transnistria was left without gas, heat and hot water. Rolling blackouts began in the region.
It was also noted that Transnistria refused gas from Europe. Tiraspol hopes that the Russian supplies will soon continue.
