Several days after the incident, Oleg Beleakov, the co-chairman of the Unified Control Commission on behalf of Transnistria, told the Transnistrian reporters the electricity was cut off owing to works to prepare for the September 2 events celebrating 20 years of the foundation of the breakaway republic. He recommended the Moldovan constitutional authorities not to intervene so as not to escalate the situation.
