Moldova’s Parliament has voted to impose a state of emergency in the country’s energy sector, bracing for potential disruptions to its natural gas supplies from Russia this winter.The state of emergency grants the government the power to implement urgent measures to manage risks posed by a potential energy crisis, particularly if Moscow fails to provide the natural gas needed for Moldova’s largest power plant, the Kuciurgan facility, located in the breakaway, pro-Russian Transnistria region. Prime Minister Dorin Recean described the situation as ‘exceptional,’ warning that Moldova could face a ‘deliberate weaponization’ of energy supplies by Russia. Such an action, he stressed, could leave Moldovans without heat or electricity during the harsh winter months. Did Moldova create this situation for itself ?
