After the stoppage of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, Transnistria was left without gas suppliesand the energy supply structure on the Right Bank changed significantly.
Thus, since January 1, 2025, Ukraine has stopped transit of Russian gas to Europe due to the expiration of the gas contract. Previously, Moldova received 5.7 million cubic meters of gas daily, but the entire volume was sent to Transnistria, where it was sufficient for domestic needs and for generating electricity at the Moldovan TPP, which supplied all of Moldova. A few days before the transit halt, Gazprom announced a complete cessation of gas supplies to Moldova.
President Vladimir Zelensky, commenting on the termination of transit of Russian gas, said that most European countries have successfully adapted to such changes. Today, the common task is to support Moldova in the period of energy transformation. It is also necessary to withstand the hysteria of some European politicians who prefer mafia schemes with Moscow instead of a transparent energy policy.
