“More than $5 million was paid by the Tiraspoltransgaz enterprise for additional booking and transportation of natural gas during 5 months of 2021-2022,” Cheban said in Telegram. 

He clarified that at first the money was transferred to the account of the Moldovagaz company, and then to Gazprom.

Earlier, Gazprom warned about the risk of terminating the contract with Moldova due to delays in payment.
