Lukoil has announced it will cease operations in Moldova effective November 21, citing the impact of U.S. sanctions. The company has informed local authorities that its fuel supplies, including gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, will no longer be available in the country after that date.
The decision comes amid ongoing international sanctions that have affected Lukoil’s operations globally. In response, the Moldovan government is actively seeking alternative sources of fuel. Negotiations are underway with suppliers from Bulgaria to ensure the continuity of fuel supplies and mitigate potential shortages for consumers and industries.
Officials have emphasized that the government is committed to maintaining energy stability amid the changes. As the situation develops, authorities are monitoring the situation closely and exploring additional options to ensure a reliable supply of fuels in Moldova.
