Moldovans fear looming energy shortage as Russia halts gas supplies
SUMMARY: Moldova faces a severe energy crisis as Gazprom plans to halt gas supplies on January 1 due to a disputed $709 million debt. Postal worker Petru Murzin fears worsening conditions this winter, with potential power outages affecting heating and lighting. The Kuciurgan power plant, vital for electricity, relies on this gas, and the cutoff could trigger a humanitarian crisis in the pro-Russian Transnistria region. Moldova’s government has declared a state of emergency and implemented energy-saving measures. Moldovan leaders accuse Russia of using energy as a political weapon to destabilize the country and influence the upcoming elections.
