KYIV (Reuters) - Moldovan President Maia Sandu arrived in Kyiv on Saturday for talks with her Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy, she said in a post on the X social network.
"We’ll discuss security, energy, infrastructure, trade, and mutual support on the EU path," she said.
Moldova is facing an energy crisis after supply of Russian gas via Ukraine ended at the beginning of the year.
Kyiv refused to enter talks to renew the gas transit deal due to Moscow's full-scale invasion, ongoing for nearly three years.
Moldova says alternate supply routes exist, but Russia has refused to reroute gas flows until the payment of an alleged $709 million in arrears, a figure disputed by Chisinau.
