Moldavia reported the lifting of the emergency regime introduced due to the energy crisis

Moldova will not prolong the state of emergency regime, which was introduced due to the energy crisis. This was announced by the country's Prime Minister Dorin Recean on February 13.

"Today ends the 60-day period for which the state of emergency was introduced and which will not be extended for the time being," he wrote on his Facebook page (part of Meta, recognized as an extremist organization and banned in Russia).

He noted that at the moment conditions have been created for the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (TMR) to be supplied with natural gas without the need to impose a state of emergency.

Stop plan: the risk of humanitarian catastrophe remains in Transnistria

Who is slowing down the resolution of the crisis and when the situation may stabilize

Earlier, on February 5, the PMR Supreme Council (unicameral parliament) announced the extension of the state of emergency in the region's economy until March 10.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on January 30 indicated that Moldova was interested in using the energy crisis as a weapon against the DMR. Chisinau's words about its desire to end the difficulties Tiraspol is experiencing are, in the diplomat's opinion, mere declarations.

Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said on January 27 that Chisinau would transfer 3 million cubic meters of gas to Transnistria on loan. After that, it is planned to receive a €30 million grant from the European Union (EU) to purchase this type of fuel at an anti-crisis price.

Gas supplies from Russia to Moldova and Transnistria stopped on January 1 due to Ukraine's refusal to extend the agreement on transit through its territory and debts of the Moldovan side to Gazprom. In mid-January, it became known that Russia was ready to provide assistance to the DMR and start humanitarian gas supplies.
