The total volume of US assistance to Moldova under the Moldova Support Program exceeded $2.5 billion, of which $774 million came in the last 2 years.
This was announced by the US Ambassador to our country Kent Logsdon, speaking at the State University of Moldova. He noted that the United States has increased its support to Moldova to help mitigate the effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and to support Moldova's growth and long-term success. “This assistance helps Moldova achieve energy security and diversification, rid the judiciary of corruption, achieve EU standards for border security and trade facilitation, and create the National Army of Moldova so that it can maximize its contribution to regional security,” the American diplomat noted. According to him, the United States is proud to partner with Moldova to diversify its energy supplies and secure its energy future, which is why it has invested $367 million in the future of Moldova's energy sector. “The energy situation has changed significantly for the better: Moldova is committed to energy diversification to a degree that was unimaginable when I arrived here two years ago. Ultimately, this will ensure the long-term health of the Moldovan economy. Moldova has already replaced a significant portion of its gas from Russia with supplies from other sources, strengthening energy security overall. Despite the Kremlin's attempts to use energy as a political lever, the Moldovan government has successfully purchased the energy needed to support its people while making enormous strides in further diversifying those energy supplies, including by building capacity to openly buy and sell energy on the market." - emphasized the US Ambassador to the Republic of Moldova. // 28.02.2024 — InfoMarket
