Moldovan President Maya Sandu announced a complete refusal to purchase Russian gas after the launch of the Volcanisti-Chisinau transmission line, which connected the country with the energy system of Romania and Europe, Kommersant writes. Previously, 80% of the republic's electricity needs were supplied by the power plant of the Moldova region using Russian fuel, the transit of which through Ukraine was stopped in 2025.
