The Republic of Moldova will receive a grant worth 64 million euros from the European Union to solve the energy crisis. The financing contract will be signed today with the European Commission, and the money will be used to support both the right bank of the Nistru and the Transnistrian region. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Dorin Recean on his Facebook page.
According to Prime Minister Dorin Recean, out of the total amount, 30 million euros will be allocated to the purchase of natural gas and electricity.
Thus, 20 million euros will be allocated for the supply of gas to the Transnistrian region, and 10 million euros will be used for the purchase of electricity needed by the right bank of the Nistru. Another 34 million euros will represent budgetary support.
The Chisinau authorities announced that this financial support from the European Union is an example of European solidarity, which comes at a time when Russia continues to exert pressure on the country through energy blackmail.
