The cutoff of Russian gas through Ukraine has created a serious energy crisis in Moldova, especially in Transnistria.
Transnistria's dependence on Russian gas leaves its citizens facing freezing temperatures and potential power outages.
Moldova is seeking alternative energy solutions, but this will be very expensive and could lead to political issues.
Many believe Russia is using this crisis to pressure Moldova, aiming to influence the 2025 elections and undermine pro-EU support.
