Brussels accuses Moscow of “using gas as a weapon” against Moldova

Brussels – (AFP) On Tuesday evening, European Foreign Minister Kaya Kallas accused Russia of “using gas as a weapon” against Moldova, the small republic that includes a separatist region loyal to Moscow, where Russian gas supplies have stopped since January 1. Callas said in a post on the X platform: “Russia continues to use gas as a weapon, and once again Moldova has become a target for its hybrid war.” She added that she reaffirmed, during a phone call with Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Resian, “the European Union’s firm solidarity with Moldova.” Callas stressed that “thanks to the support of the European Union, Moldova remains solid and well-connected.”
