Russia considers the situation with gas supply in the unrecognized Transnistria a “crisis” and blames Ukraine and Moldova for this. Kremlin Speaker Dmitry Peskov said this at a briefing on Thursday, January 9. “For many years, Russia supplied natural gas, on which, in fact, Pridnestrovie lived. Now, due to the decisions of Ukraine and the Moldovan authorities, Transnistria has missed this opportunity. The situation is truly a crisis," At the same time, Peskov refused to answer the question through which country Slovakia will receive Russian gas. " Indeed, there are still states in Europe that are interested in receiving more competitive Russian natural gas, and these countries want to buy it. And supplies of such gas can make the national economy and economies of these countries more competitive," Let us remind you that on January 1, Ukraine suspended the transit of Russian gas. The contract with Gazprom has expired. Because of this, gas supplies to Transnistria (left bank) through Moldova (right bank) were also stopped. The buyer of gas from Gazprom was its subsidiary Moldovagaz, which sent the entire volume of purchased fuel to Transnistria. Right Bank Moldova has been purchasing gas for domestic needs from European suppliers for several years now.. And Transnistria was left without gas, heat and hot water. Rolling blackouts have begun in the region. It also became known that Pridnestrovie refused gas from Europe. Tiraspol hopes that Russian supplies will soon resume.
