“I was informed that there was a basic agreement at the level of Gazprom and Moldovagaz to extend the contract for the supply of natural gas from January 2020, and in the near future the parties will announce the signing of the document,” Dodon wrote on his Facebook page.
As the president noted, although there is hope for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine, the signing of the contract with Gazprom will also provide for “the possibility of obtaining natural gas at any point of delivery, including at the border with other states.”
In turn, the gas system operators of these countries will ensure the supply of gas to the border with Moldova "in accordance with existing rules."
Earlier, Dodon said that Chisinau and Gazprom had reached a preliminary agreement to extend the contract for the supply of gas to the republic.
In early September, Dodon said that from October 1, Russia will provide Moldova with gas at a discount of $ 10-15.
On September 12, Ukrtransgaz announced a 2% increase in gas supplies from Russia through Ukrainian territory compared to 2018 - transit to the EU and Moldova “amounted to 59.5 billion cubic meters. m. "
