"The Kremlin is once again using energy blackmail in an attempt to destabilize the situation, to influence the 2025 parliamentary elections and to undermine our European path," said President Maia Sandu.
The official on Monday summoned Prime Minister Dorin Recean, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebrian and Speaker of Parliament Igor Grosu to address the energy crisis. The officials analyzed the impact of Gazprom’s decision to stop supplying gas to the left bank of the Nistru.
"After two years ago, Gazprom stopped fulfilling its contractual obligations in relation to consumers living on the right bank, now it announced that it will stop supplying gas to the left bank as well," Maia Sandu wrote after the meeting.
The official assured that "the right bank is provided with gas for the heating season and measures are being taken to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity" and the Government is working on a plan to provide humanitarian aid to citizens from the Transnistrian region.
