Credited from: LATIMES

  • Moldova is bracing for an energy crisis as Russia's Gazprom halts gas supplies over a disputed debt of $709 million, leading to concerns about heating and electricity shortages.
  • The cut will particularly impact the Kuciurgan power plant, Moldova's largest, situated in the pro-Russian Transnistria region, which primarily relies on gas for electricity generation.
  • In response, Moldova's parliament has declared a state of emergency in the energy sector, while Transnistria is also preparing for significant hardships due to the crisis.
  • Officials in Moldova argue that Russia is using energy as a political weapon, attempting to destabilize the country and influence upcoming elections.
  • Moldovan leaders are implementing energy-saving measures and preparing humanitarian aid to address potential shortages, especially in vulnerable regions like Transnistria.
