Russia-Ukraine war

Hungarian company MET Group is set to start supplying gas to Transnistria starting February 8, as EU funding runs out

client/title.list_title

Telegram channel Energy Frontline reported that the Hungarian company MET Group may become the main supplier of gas to Transnistria after February 10, when EU funding runs out. Test deliveries are set to begin on February 8.

After February 10, Russian funds will be used to supply gas, with a formal contract expected if deliveries succeed.

Russia resumed gas supplies to Transnistria after Moldova, with EU support, began supplying gas, leading Russia to act to retain control.

Experts suggest MET's involvement may help protect Russian gas from being seized in Europe amid growing legal and sanction risks for Gazprom.

Hungary’s Minister for European Affairs, János Bóka, stated that the country would agree to extend sanctions against Russia only after reaching a separate agreement with the new U.S. administration.
