Since January 1, 2025, unrecognized Transnistria has been living without Russian gas, refusing help from Moldova.
The purpose of the “humanitarian crisis caused by the Kremlin” on the left bank of the Dniester is to provoke a political crisis on the right bank and worsen the situation in the Republic of Moldova. The President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, announced this on Tuesday, January 14, writes Radio Liberty.
“This is not an energy crisis, because there are alternative ways to deliver gas, however, Gazprom does not want to fulfill its contractual obligations,” said the head of state.
He emphasized that the only goal pursued by Russia by stopping gas supplies to the Transnistrian region is to “cause discontent on both banks” of the Dniester and use gas as a weapon again.
He drew attention to the departure of the leader of the unrecognized Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, to Moscow on January 14. Sandu said that “this is another proof that Chisinau does not stand in the way of finding a solution.” The President criticized the categorical refusal of the Tiraspol administration to accept the support of Chisinau and its international partners.
The leader of the separatist Transnistrian region of Moldova, Vadim Krasnoselsky, went to Moscow via Istanbul on the morning of January 14, he flew from Chisinau airport.
Let’s recall that Kyiv offered help to Tiraspol with coal in the midst of a vacuum of energy resources, but received no response.
