OREANDA-NEWS All industrial enterprises of Pridnestrovie have stopped working due to lack of energy resources, said Sergey Obolonik, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, quoted by the Telegram channel of the news agency News of Pridnestrovie.
"The crisis is so severe that there is no need to list which enterprises have stopped. All industrial enterprises are standing, with the exception of those engaged in food production, that is, they directly ensure the food security of Transnistria. There is no energy resource for other enterprises, for the industrial sector," said Obolonik.
According to him, every effort is being made so that enterprises can ship finished products that are in warehouses.
"With energy, we will look at the state of affairs that will develop by January 5, when the household sector will be fully loaded, including heating devices. We will see the energy balance in order to somehow find out by blocking or reducing certain energy costs to support our industrial agents," the First Deputy Prime Minister added.
In Tiraspol, they hope that sooner or later the problems in the energy sector will be resolved in a positive way. So far, the situation is manageable and in line with experts' forecasts, but this is only the second day of the energy crisis, Obolonik stressed.
"It's too early to judge how the situation will turn out. As for the industry, I repeat, the problem is so global that if it is not regulated for a long time, we will get irreversible changes, that is, enterprises will lose their ability to launch," concluded the first Deputy Prime Minister.
Transnistria, 60 percent of whose inhabitants are Russians and Ukrainians, sought to secede from Moldova even before the collapse of the USSR, fearing that the republic would join Romania on a wave of nationalism. In 1992, after an unsuccessful attempt by Chisinau to solve the problem by force, Transnistria became a territory beyond the control of the central authorities.
The agreement on the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine expired on December 31. Last week, Vladimir Zelensky rejected the possibility of extending this agreement even for purchases by third countries. As a result, Gazprom stopped pumping starting at 08:00 Moscow time on January 1, stressing that it had lost the technical and legal ability to pump gas through Ukraine.
