Transnistria without gas and Chişinău in crisis mode. A difficult winter in the Republic of Moldova

by Brigitta Triebel

Russia's gas supply freeze aims at political stability in the country

Since January 1, 2025, the Republic of Moldova has been in a double energy crisis with political explosive force. Gazprom had previously suspended its free gas supplies to the Russian-dependent region of Transnistria in the east of the country. As a result of the supply stop, the power supply for the whole of Moldova is also at risk. Only the coming weeks and months will show what consequences these energy crises will have on political developments in the Republic of Moldova. However, it is already clear that Russia is prepared to give up the status quo in the Transnistrian conflict. Moscow's overarching goal is to influence the parliamentary elections in the fall of 2025.
