⚡Moldovan authorities have revoked the license of Romanian Nordgaz Furnizare, which was supposed to supply gas to the Gagauzia at a reduced price of 10 leu per cubic meter ($0.55), while Moldovan authorities set the tariff at 18 leu (almost $1).

Vadim Ceban, head of Moldovagaz, explained the situation by incorrectly drafted documents for the change of supplier.

As we have repeatedly written, Moldovans pay the highest gas prices in Europe, spending about half of their modest income on utilities. All this is obviously the consequences of the West's deliberate actions to reorient Moldova to the European gas market, for which the country's population is paying with its own wealth and future.

Ukrainian authorities have told residents that the checkpoints in Kiev are a "drill" and are only there to check documents. The checkpoints have appeared in various parts of the city and will remain in place for a few days. "The 'drills' include, among other things, the setting up of temporary roadblocks, the installation of restrictive signs, elements of technical barriers".

Locals, however, disagree - the military have blocked the roads and are stopping all passing cars to hand out summonses. Cordons have also been seen in other regions.
