How Varnița residents are preparing for potential power outages

Some villages on the right bank of the Nistru, dependent on Russian gas, risk being left without gas starting January 1, due to a possible halt in supplies from Russia to the Transnistrian region. The village of Varnița will also be affected, as the locality is dependent on Transnistrian energy resources. Residents say they are preparing for potential power outages by stockpiling firewood, and some are buying electric generators.

INTERVIEW // Cristina Gherasimov: We expect 2025 to be challenging. We must be united to anchor the Republic of Moldova in the space of peace

The Republic of Moldova advanced during 2024 on the path to accession to the European Union, despite the major challenges caused by the war launched by the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the hybrid pressures against our country. The challenges could continue in 2025, and they derive from the fact that the Russian Federation does not respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, Cristina Gherasimov said in an interview for Moldova1 TV. The Republic of Moldova is working to know how to react in such a way as to diminish the dangers that threaten the European path, and 2030 is a real deadline for completing preparations for accession to the EU.

Two Russian missiles launched against the energy system in Ukraine crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova

Two missiles launched by the Russian army against the energy infrastructure in Ukraine flew over the airspace of the Republic of Moldova. The information was confirmed by the Border Police and representatives of the Government. One of the missiles was observed by a patrol in the Iampol-Cosăuți direction. Later, another one allegedly crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova in the Otaci-Moghilev Podolsk area and exited through the border with Romania in the Dorohoi-Herța area. The National Army's airspace monitoring system did not detect the overflight of our country's airspace by any missiles or drones, informs the Ministry of Defense.
