Maia Sandu calls for a meeting of the Supreme Security Council on energy
The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, has called for a meeting of the Supreme Security Council for Tuesday, January 14. The agenda includes the situation in the energy sector and assistance measures for the population.
After the meeting, the head of state will hold a press conference at the presidency's headquarters, starting at 11:30.
We remind you that the energy crisis in the Republic of Moldova has seriously affected the localities in the transnistrian region and the Security Zone, leaving residents and public institutions without electricity, heat and natural gas. The most vulnerable localities, such as Varnița and Copanca, are connected to the infrastructure controlled by Tiraspol and do not have direct connections to the networks on the right bank of the Nistru. Public institutions, including schools and hospitals, are facing major difficulties in ensuring heating, and residents now depend on the supply of firewood, pellets and emergency generators.
We remind you that "Gazprom" suspended the delivery of natural gas to "Moldovagaz" starting January 1, 2025. In connection with a potential humanitarian crisis in the transnistrian region, due to the Russian Federation's failure to comply with the contract for natural gas supplies to consumers on the left bank of the Nistru, the Republic of Moldova is in a state of emergency starting December 16, 2024.
