To fully understand the current energy situation in Moldova, it is essential to explore the history of the country’s post–Soviet Union energy supply system. Russian gas flowed into Moldova via Ukraine from the fall of the Soviet Union until the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Historically, this arrangement gave Russia an annual opportunity to seek Moldovan concessions or have the country suffer the consequences in both prices and supply. As of 2023, Chisinau no longer purchases gas from Russia’s Gazprom.
