“We see attempts by Gazprom to exert political pressure instead of lowering gas prices,” Interfax quoted Borrell as saying at a press conference after a meeting of the EU-Moldova Association Council.
He announced the readiness of the European Union to support Moldova in its search for a way out of the crisis.
“Gas cannot be used as a geopolitical weapon,” the politician concluded.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that negotiations between the Russian company Gazprom and the Moldovan authorities on gas supplies are exclusively commercial, there is no politicization on this issue.
Earlier, Moldovan Prime Minister Natalya Gavrilitsa commented on negotiations with Gazprom on gas supplies.
