The mainly Russian-speaking territory of about 450,000 people, which split from Moldova in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed, has suffered a painful and immediate hit from Wednesday\u2019s cut-off of Russian gas supplies to central and eastern Europe via Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll industrial enterprises are idle, with the exception of those engaged in food production \u2013 that is, directly ensuring food security for Transdnistria,\u201d Sergei Obolonik, first deputy prime minister of the region, told a local news channel. \u201cIt is too early to judge how the situation will develop &#8230; The problem is so extensive that if it is not resolved for a long time, we will already have irreversible changes \u2013 that is, enterprises will lose their ability to start up.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine had allowed Russia to keep pumping gas across its territory despite nearly three years of war, and was earning up to $1bn a year in transit fees. But Kyiv refused to renew a five-year deal that expired on Wednesday. European gas buyers such as Slovakia and Austria had prepared for the cut-off by securing alternative supplies. But Transnistria \u2013 despite its ties to Moscow and the presence of 1,500 Russian troops there \u2013 has been crippled.<\/p>\n<p>The local energy company cut heating and hot water to households on Wednesday and urged families to keep warm by gathering in a single room, covering windows with curtains or blankets and using electric heaters. The pro-Russian leader of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, said the region had gas reserves that could last for 10 days of limited usage in northern parts and twice as long in the south. He said the main power plant had switched from gas to coal and should be able to supply electricity to residents in January and February.<\/p>\n<p>Russia had been pumping about 2bn cubic metres of gas a year to Transnistria \u2013 including the power plant which also provided energy for the whole of Moldova, a country of 2.5 million people that wants to join the EU. Moldova has a long history of gas payment disputes and tense relations with Russia. The ex-Soviet republic is trying to cut energy consumption by at least a third and import more than 60% of its needs from neighbouring Romania.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Moldovan national gas company Moldovagaz, Vadim Ceban, said his company had told the gas distribution company in the separatist enclave, Tiraspoltransgaz, that it was willing to help buy gas from European countries to ease shortages.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/jan\/02\/moldovan-region-transnistria-shuts-down-its-industries-after-loss-of-russian-gas\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/russian-gas-shutdown-forces-closure-of-almost-all-industry-in-transnistria\/\">Russian gas shutdown forces closure of almost all industry in Transnistria<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,771,1774,588],"class_list":["post-136313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-gas","tag-moldova","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136313\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
