In the Russian Federation declared the preparation of a military operation in Transnistria: Moldova denied
It was reported that the President of the Republic of Maya Sandu allegedly ordered to prepare a plan for the power plant of the Moldavian GRES power plant. In response, Chisinau declared "serious and dangerous misinformation. " The Russian "Interfax" with reference to the CZR wrote that a meeting on problems in Chisinau recently took place on the background of possible problems related to the end of the end of December 31, the term of the Russian-Ukrainian Treaty for Natural Gas Transit.
Sandu allegedly refused to discuss the problem with the Ukrainian side and stated that if Moscow did not find a way to resolve this issue, then Chisinau "plays in the pro -Russian Transnistria. " According to the SZR, the Moldavian President was "in Nestya" after the meeting and ordered to prepare a military operation in Transnistria in order to take control of the power plant.
This statement has caused concern among European diplomats as it can exacerbate the crisis in the region in the area of strategic interests of Russia. In response to the throwing of Russian propagandists, the head of the President of Moldova, Adrian Baltel, declared dangerous misinformation of the Russian side. "It is a serious and dangerous misinformation designed to sow panic and distrust.
We confirm that Chisinau is still firmly committed to a peaceful settlement of conflict without any exception," he wrote on social networks. Baltel noted that to blame Kiev and Chisinau of the energy situation in the region is completely false and manipulative, since there is a contract between the Russian "Gazprom" and "Moldavgas", which provides for the supply of natural gas regardless of the transit route.
"The current problems are caused by the refusal of Gazprom to fulfill its contractual obligations, not by the actions of the Moldovan government," Kishinev emphasized. In early December, the head of Moldova Dorin was declared a state of emergency in the energy sector. This decision was made due to the expected cessation of Russian gas from January 1, since gas is now supplied to Transnistria and Moldova transit through Ukraine.
Transnistria, for its part, possessing two large hydroelectric power plants, is the main supplier of electricity for Moldova. In this regard, the "authorities" of the republic have already threatened Chisinau with shutdown of electricity, if the issue of supply of Russian gas is not resolved. We will remind, in May, the Agency "RIA" reported that Moldova allegedly began to accumulate military equipment near the borders of the unrecognized Transnistria.
