Transnistria: Thousands without heating after Russian gas supplies cut

CNN  

CNN — The head of Moldova’s breakaway region Transnistria has urged residents to burn firewood for heating and warned that blackouts cannot be avoided, after Moscow stopped supplying gas via Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the move as “one of Moscow’s greatest defeats.” The Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said Monday that cold water supply in Transnistria had also been disrupted amid the energy crisis. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has meanwhile suggested he could cut electricity supplies to Ukraine and reduce aid to Ukrainian refugees in retaliation for the expiry of the gas transit deal, which he described as “sabotage” by Zelensky. Europe has in general significantly reduced its reliance on Russian energy since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but parts of the former Eastern Bloc still import gas in large quantities.
