Kyiv is calling it a &#8221;historic&#8221; day as its refusal to extend a transit agreement with Russia&#8217;s Gazprom has halted the return flow of cash to fund the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But in neighbouring Moldova, the move threatens to cause a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In Transnistria, a separatist region of eastern Moldova loyal to Moscow, the year began with only hospitals and critical infrastructure being heated, not houses. &#8221;The hot water was on until about 2am, I checked. Now it&#8217;s off and the radiators are barely warm,&#8221; Dmitry told the BBC by phone from his flat in the enclave. &#8221;We still have gas, but the pressure is very low &#8211; just what&#8217;s left in the pipes. It&#8217;s the same everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Transnistria split from the rest of Moldova in a short war as the Soviet Union fell apart. It still has Russian troops on its soil and an economy that&#8217;s fully dependent on Russian gas, for which the authorities in Tiraspol pay nothing. &#8221;They just have a file, where it says how much the debt is each month,&#8221; explains Jakub Pie\u0144kowski, of the Polish Institute of International Affairs, PSIM. &#8221;But Russia is not interested in asking for this money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, that lifeline via Ukraine has been cut. In some Transnistrian towns, the authorities are setting up &#8221;heating points&#8221; and there are hotlines for help finding firewood. Families have been advised to gather in one room for warmth and seal cracks in the windows and doors with blankets. New Year&#8217;s Day in the enclave brought sunshine but the temperature overnight is forecast to fall below 0C. &#8221;It&#8217;s chilly now inside the flat,&#8221; local resident Dmitry says. &#8221;And we don&#8217;t know what frost January will bring.&#8221; The electricity is still flowing, for now.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cy8ymx50kz8o\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cy8ymx50kz8o\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/moldova-faces-energy-crisis-as-flow-of-russian-gas-ends\/\">Moldova faces energy crisis as flow of Russian gas ends<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[482,575,1774],"class_list":["post-136290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-energy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-moldova"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
