The Republic of Moldova remains the main buyer of butter and wheat flour from Ukraine in the first two months of the current year. According to data from the Ukrainian Customs Service, Moldova imported 42.2% of the total butter exports and 30% of the flour exports in the current trading season, reports IPN.

This year’s trend consolidates the growth from the previous year. In 2025, Ukraine exported a total of 15 thousand tons of butter, generating revenues of 107.4 million dollars. Moldova was the main importer, purchasing 31.4% of the total quantity exported, followed by Azerbaijan and Poland.

Regarding wheat flour, Moldova maintains its position as the main destination in the current commercial season (July 2025 – June 2026), representing 30% of Ukrainian exports.

Although Ukraine has reduced the total volume of flour exported by 7%, delivering 37,500 tons in the first seven months of the season, the Moldovan market remains the most important, followed by Palestine and the Czech Republic.

The 400 kV Overhead Power Line from Vulcanesti to Chisinau has been energized up to the Chisinau Power Station. According to the Minister of Energy, Dorin Junghietu, the final tests and checks are to follow before the line is put into commercial operation, reports IPN.

“Putting it under tension allows us to test the operation of the entire route, the protection equipment, the control systems, and the behavior of the installations under real operating conditions. This project is not just about 157 kilometers of power line. It means the possibility of directly transporting energy from Romania to the center of the Republic of Moldova, without the vulnerabilities of the old infrastructure”, declared Dorin Junghietu.

Previously, the Minister of Energy made a visit to the Chisinau Power Station to check the results of the technical tests carried out last week and the preparations for the next stage. He discussed with representatives of the contractor Electromontaj SA, the consulting company overseeing the works, and the operator of the electric power transmission system, Moldelectrica.
