From eight in the morning Moscow time on January 1, 2025, Gazprom will stop gas supplies to Moldova. The restrictions will remain in effect until Gazprom makes a different decision. This is stated in the company's press release.
Gazprom claims that JSC Moldovagaz “regularly fails to fulfill its payment obligations under the current contract, which is a significant violation of its terms.” Gazprom sent a corresponding notification to Moldova.
The press release notes that Gazprom may terminate the agreement with Moldova and demand compensation for losses. The agreement was signed at the end of October 2021 for five years. It fixed the formula for calculating the cost of gas proposed by Moldova. Gazprom then called the terms of the contract “mutually beneficial.”

Prime Minister of Moldova Dorin Recean wrote on his Facebook page that Moldova does not recognize the debt attributed to it by Gazprom. He promised that the country's government would "carefully analyze legal options, including recourse to international arbitration."
“This decision once again confirms the Kremlin’s intention to leave the residents of Transnistria without light and heat in the middle of winter. Russia is using energy as a political weapon, turning the population of Transnistria, which it controls with the help of its illegally stationed army, into hostages,” the prime minister added.
