Iran Ready to Supply Gas to Ukraine, Moldova

Iran is ready to supply natural gas to Ukraine and Moldova, the Iranian ambassador to Ukraine and Moldova, Akbar Qasemi Aliabadi said.

He said Iran holds huge gas reserves and is ready to supply the two European countries with natural gas, Iran’s SHANA news agency reported.

“Both Ukraine and Moldova are in need of natural gas. Iran enjoys vast gas reserves, and is prepared to consider future supply of gas to the two countries,” he added.

Ukraine is currently securing a major portion of its needed gas through imports from Russia.

Ukrainian authorities say that high prices have forced them to look for ways to reduce the country’s dependence on Russian gas.
