Gazprom says decides against cutting exports to Moldova

MOSCOW, Nov 28 (PRIME) -- Moldova's energy company Moldovagaz has paid for the gas stuck in Ukraine, and Russia's Gazprom has decided against limiting exports to the country, the Russian company said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Monday.

"Company Moldovagaz has eliminated the irregularities in payments to Gazprom for the current supplies of Russian gas in November. Gazprom received the money for gas stuck on the territory of Ukraine meant for consumers in Moldova," the company said.

"In this context, a decision was made not to reduce gas supply to the Sudzha gas metering station for transit to Moldova."

According to the company, due to Moldova’s frequent payment breaches, Gazprom said it reserves the right to cut or stop exports in case of further problems.

Gazprom said last week it would start to reduce gas supplies across Ukraine on Monday, if the misbalance of gas transmission to Moldova noticed by the company was kept.
