I separatisti filo-russi della Moldavia rifiutano il gas dell’UE nonostante gli avvertimenti sulla crisi umanitaria – La corrispondenza trapelata mostra che alla Transnistria sono state offerte alternative al gas russo nel mezzo di una catastrofe energetica invernale – ma i funzionari hanno detto di no.

I think they just hope that Ukraine will fall this year (or a forced agreement will be reached that will put Ukraine back in Russia’s orbit), so that Russia will be able to exercise its power over Moldova again. But meanwhile there is no benefit for Russia or its Transnistria puppets to accept any deal — any suffering experienced by people will be put on Sandu, Zelenski, EU and US, and propagandized masses will gladly eat it up. Who cares if some people might die due to lack of access to basic conveniences?

SUMMARY

**Pro-Russian Transnistrian Leaders Reject EU Gas Amid Severe Winter Crisis**

The separatist region of Transnistria is facing a severe humanitarian crisis this winter after refusing alternatives to Russian gas following Gazprom’s sudden halt of supplies on January 1. Documents obtained by POLITICO reveal that Moldova offered to help facilitate gas purchases from European markets to prevent a heating disaster, but Transnistrian officials, supported by Moscow, declined the offer.

This unrecognised state declared independence from Moldova in the 1990s and traditionally relied on free Russian gas. However, Gazprom ended its supplies, citing Moldova’s alleged €680 million debt for gas—a claim that Moldova disputes, asserting that audits show only €8 million is owed. Moldovan officials accuse Russia of “weaponising” energy to destabilise the region and influence Moldova’s parliamentary elections in 2025.

Temperatures in Transnistria have dropped below freezing, leaving homes, schools, and businesses without heating or hot water. Despite the ongoing crisis, the region’s authorities have rejected humanitarian aid, including generators, and dismissed the option of purchasing European gas as too costly and unreliable.

Critics argue that Transnistrian leaders are placing Russian interests above the well-being of their residents. While the Moldovan government is willing to assist, it accuses Moscow of orchestrating the crisis to undermine the EU-aligned Moldovan leadership. In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of people in Transnistria are enduring increasingly dire conditions as winter progresses.

I hope this is a sign for all the non pro-russian separatists: who is trying to help and who is abandoning them for political gains.
