Ukraine’s NATO membership bid to be considered after it wins conflict — Biden

Ukraine’s accession to NATO will be considered only after it wins the conflict, US President Joe Biden said, according to TASS.

When asked by a journalist after his talks with visiting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky when Washington would be ready to support an invitation to Ukraine to join the alliance, he said, "NATO will be in Ukraine’s future, no question about it." "But as we said in Vilnius, Ukraine will become a member of NATO when all allies agree and conditions are met. Right now we need to make sure that they win the war," he noted.

Ukraine announced a fast-track NATO membership bid in September 2022, and was assured at a NATO summit in Vilnius in 2023 that it would be accepted into the bloc once it met all the required conditions. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on November 28 that Ukraine would be accepted into the North Atlantic Alliance in due time; however, he did not specify when this might happen.

Recean, after Moldovagaz requested a gas tariff increase, and Parlicov failed to reach an agreement with Gazprom: “We have to face a very difficult winter”

The Prime Minister of Moldova, Dorin Recean, has warned that the country is bracing for a “very difficult” winter. The main challenges that could lead to a significant crisis include the potential interruption of natural gas supplies to the Transnistrian region and the request from Moldovagaz to increase tariffs by more than four lei. At the start of the Cabinet of Ministers' meeting, the Prime Minister assured that, despite these difficulties, the government will work to find solutions to manage the situation.

Government could increase compensation, Moldovagaz insists on tariff adjustment

The government is analyzing the possibility of granting higher compensation, in the context of a possible increase in natural gas tariffs, starting December 1. Although he refused to give an estimated figure, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection, Alexei Buzu, reiterated the Government's commitment to supporting citizens, as it has done since 2022, when energy prices rose sharply due to the war in Ukraine. While officials warn that a "hard winter" awaits us, Vadim Ceban, President of Moldovagaz, expressed confidence in a favourable decision from ANRE.
