Ukraine is ready to assist Moldova with coal to prevent Russia from escalating social tensions, according to President Zelensky.

In a statement following January 8, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed his conversation with Moldovan President Maia Sandu. The transcript was released by Zelensky's press office.
Зеленский заявил, что Украина готова предоставить Молдове уголь, чтобы предотвратить социальные волнения, которые может вызвать Россия.

"Today, I had several international conversations. Moldova – Maia Sandu. Of course, the most important thing is to assist Moldova in navigating this challenging period of energy challenges and to prevent Moscow from igniting social tensions. The current energy situation in Moldova, particularly on the left bank of the Dniester [where the unrecognized Transnistria is located], is an attempt by Russia to manipulate energy resources against the government in Moldova," said the President of Ukraine.

According to him, Ukraine is ready to support Moldova in overcoming its energy challenges, including through coal supplies.

"It is crucial to maintain stability and provide all people in Moldova with the conditions to live peacefully and work for their country, to overcome poverty, and to advance our collective movement towards the European Union," emphasized Zelensky.
