Moldova is facing a security crisis as Prime Minister Dorin Recean announced that tens of thousands in the breakaway region of Transdniestria have been cut off from Russian gas.
The halt in Russian gas flows, effective at the end of 2024, occurred after Kyiv refused to continue business dealings with Moscow.
Recean indicated that Moldova would meet its energy needs through domestic production and imports despite the challenges faced by Transdniestria.
The Prime Minister characterized the situation as a deliberate security threat from Russia aimed at destabilizing Moldova and possibly empowering pro-Russian factions.
Moldova is preparing alternative energy arrangements, including biomass systems and electricity imports from Romania, to support the region. For more details, visit the original article.
