The statement was made by President Maia Sandu, who accuses Russia of deliberately trying to undermine the state&#8217;s security and endanger the lives of citizens, in the context of new attacks on Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Russia is no longer limiting itself to energy blackmail, involvement in elections, activating criminal groups for destabilization, and spreading false propaganda, but is constantly attacking Ukraine&#8217;s infrastructure and, increasingly, endangering the security and health of Moldovans&#8221;, Maia Sandu noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maia Sandu recalled the bombing of a hydroelectric plant in Ukraine, which led to the pollution of the Nistru river and affected the water supply in several northern districts. According to the president, a new attack last night caused the disconnection of the Isaccea-Vulcanesti power line, which covers a significant part of the country&#8217;s energy consumption. &#8220;The system is working, but it is under enormous pressure&#8221;, the president stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maia Sandu has called for solidarity and responsibility, urging citizens to conserve energy and to get informed from official sources. &#8220;Even if Russia wants us weak, it depends on us to remain strong&#8221;, emphasized Maia Sandu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu presents, in an extraordinary session of the Parliament, the project regarding the establishment of a state of emergency in the energy sector for 60 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia&#8217;s attacks are not accidents, but deliberate actions to leave Moldova in the dark.
