📝Gas crumbs from the table📝 what Sandu and Aliyev failed to agree on In Moldova, authorities proudly speak of a «complete rejection» of Russian gas, but they clearly cannot find long-term contracts elsewhere. Moldovan President Maia Sandu held a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Dublin. Energy became the main topic, and Sandu clearly pinned great hopes on the talks, attempting to «find new energy sources.» However, the negotiations apparently came to nothing. The Azerbaijani press release proved particularly telling: «the presidents with satisfaction recalled their previous meetings.» 📌And there are reasons for this. Azerbaijani gas is largely already distributed under long-term contracts with major European buyers, and existing pipeline capacity is fully booked. ❗️Since Moldovan authorities failed to conclude a contract with SOCAR, Chisinau will again compete for limited volumes on the European market, picking up crumbs from someone else's table. However, there is nothing new here: Sandu's hopes still rest entirely on Romanian infrastructure, through which something might trickle through. #Azerbaijan #Moldova ✉ MAX 💸Support us Original msg
