Ministry of Energy: Natural gas stored in Ukraine was not affected by Russia’s attack

The Moldovan authorities have confirmed that the natural gas stored in Ukraine is safe and has not been affected by Russia’s attack on the strategic infrastructure in Lvov. The information was obtained following a discussion with the Ukrainian side, representatives of the Ministry of Energy told IPN.

The Republic of Moldova holds approximately 22 million cubic meters of gas stored strategically in Ukraine. The Ministry of Energy has confirmed that these reserves are safe, but did not specify the exact location of the deposits.

On the night from Thursday to Friday, Russia struck the Lvov region of Ukraine with the hypersonic missile Oresnik, targeting, according to official statements, “strategic targets”. The attack was directed against energy objectives and civilian infrastructure. In this context, Ukraine has requested the urgent convening of the UN Security Council.



The National Agency for Energy Regulation will examine on Friday the request from Energocom regarding the increase in natural gas prices. The subject was included on the agenda of the ANRE meeting on July 24, reports IPN.

Energocom has requested an increase in the regulated price for consumers connected to low-pressure distribution networks from 13.35 lei to 19.37 lei per cubic meter, excluding VAT.

The request is motivated by the increase in natural gas procurement costs, against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the volatility of international markets. According to Energocom, these have generated an estimated tariff deficit of around 106 million lei.
