Ukraine, Moldova to Jointly Address Transnistria’s Energy Crisis
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Moldovan President Sandu held a phone call on January 8th, coordinating responses to Transnistria’s energy crisis stemming from halted Russian gas supplies. They agreed to collaborate on mitigating the humanitarian crisis through alternative energy sources, such as coal, to prevent further hardship for Transnistrian citizens. Zelenskyy framed the situation as Russian manipulation, emphasizing Ukraine’s willingness to provide assistance. Despite offers of aid, Transnistria’s leadership rejected external interference.
