Moldovan President Maia Sandu has said the country no longer buys Russian gas and that two more power transmission lines to Romania are being built. The statement came against the backdrop of the launch of the Vulcănești–Chișinău line, opened on November 8, which connects the country to the European energy system. Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said Moldova had given up gas that was eight times cheaper.
