The EU has pledged €30 million to assist Moldovan households with winter energy bills as Chișinău targets completing EU accession talks by 2028.

European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos announced €30 million in European Union funding to help vulnerable Moldovan households pay winter energy bills. Speaking during a visit to Chișinău, Kos confirmed the financial support will be distributed through the government's energy compensation program.

Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan stated that the funds will go directly to citizens while helping the government manage its budget deficit. Moldovan officials continue to seek additional external backing for energy assistance during the cold season.

The announcement coincided with renewed commitments regarding Moldova's European integration timeline. President Maia Sandu reaffirmed Chișinău's goal to complete EU accession negotiations by 2028, highlighting 2027 as a key deadline for delivering concrete reform outcomes.
