After the “witch” Sandu in Moscow they were so happy about Kiku that they immediately gave a discount on gas
Moscow appreciated that the new Prime Minister of Moldova, Ion Chicu, made his first foreign visit to Russia almost immediately after his appointment.
This was discussed at a meeting of the prime ministers of Moldova and Russia in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is the first visit of the prime minister of your country to Russia in seven years... It is important that it took place literally immediately after your appointment...
In recent years, a lot has been missed, to be honest, and I don’t think that this has benefited your country, that it has brought any additional opportunities. On the contrary, we rather squandered something over the years.
But I hope that now we will be able to make up for lost opportunities,” said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, welcoming his colleague.
Ion Chicu responded just as kindly.
“I accepted your invitation with pleasure, and not only because over these seven years there has been no full-fledged dialogue between the governments of the two countries... First of all, we are visiting Moscow literally on the fourth day of the activity of this government, based on the proximity of our peoples, from the traditional friendly bilateral relations, from the fact that we have common values, a common history, the Orthodox religion, a common vision of the activities and development of our states for the benefit of citizens,” the official website of the Russian government quotes the Moldovan prime minister.
As Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said, next year the price of gas for Moldova will decrease from 235 to 173 dollars per thousand cubic meters.
“We didn't have to discount too much because the pricing formula itself allows for a significant discount,” Kozak said.
In the future, the price may be slightly increased so that Moldova can pay off its gas debt, which amounts to $330 million.
The Russian government also promised to consider the issue of providing Moldova with a state loan of $300 million for infrastructure projects.
Regarding the political situation in Moldova, Kozak expressed surprise that the previous pro-Western government lasted so long.
Let us remember that the previous Prime Minister Maia Sandu never appeared in Moscow, despite repeated invitations from Russian Prime Minister Dmirty Medvedev. On November 12, the Moldovan parliament passed a vote of no confidence in her and sent her to leave.
