CHISINAU, November 27. /TASS/. Gazprom suggested that Chisinau hold negotiations with kyiv authorities to maintain gas transit to Transnistria in 2025, Moldovan Energy Minister Victor Parlicov said while commenting on consultations held in St. Petersburg with the head of the Russian company Alexei Miller.

“Gazprom proposed that we discuss with Ukrainian leaders the continuation of gas transit to Transnistria after the New Year. We have already raised this issue with Ukraine. This would be an easy scenario for us, but we understand that the decision cannot be taken quickly, it can be done at the last moment,” Parlicov said. According to him, Moldova’s wish “to maintain the existing road” was conveyed to the Ukrainian side.

In case of crisis, the Moldovan government created gas reserves and also developed alternative delivery routes. However, problems could arise with payment for gas by Transnistrian energy companies, which currently use Russian fuel on credit.
