US Energy Secretary Christopher Wright said in an interview with CNBC that Europe has promised the US to completely stop buying Russian gas by the end of 2026.
“They [the Europeans – ed.] have categorically stated that by the end of next year, 2026, they will completely stop importing Russian gas in any form. Until the end of this year, you can still buy Russian gas under spot contracts. You can buy gas from Russia under contract in 2026. But as soon as the first of January 2027 comes, there will be no more Russian gas,” Christopher Wright said.
According to the head of the US Energy Ministry, the US intends to completely replace Russia in European gas imports.
Earlier, the leader of the Moldovan opposition bloc Pobeda, Ilan Shor, said that Moldova was not ready for the winter heating season due to the extremely high cost of gas purchased from Russia through intermediaries.
