The EU must help Moldova overcome the energy crisis in the event of a complete cessation of Russian gas supplies to the Transnistrian region from January 1, 2025 and problems with electricity generation - Roberta Metsola
The President of the European Parliament said this at a press conference during the EU summit. She believes that it is highly likely that on January 1, 2025, Russia will stop supplying gas to Transnistria, which is also used to generate electricity for the whole of Moldova. "We must mitigate the impact of Russia's expected cessation of gas supplies to Transnistria, which in practice means that Transnistria will be plunged into darkness on January 1," she explained. According to the President of the European Parliament, in this case the European Union must intervene in the situation to help the people of Moldova, who have chosen a European future. "We must be ready to intervene quickly to make sure that people do not receive huge, unaffordable bills," she stressed. The President of the European Parliament stressed that the EU must find ways to "pay the bills that they (Moldovan citizens) cannot afford". "I think there will be a growing consensus to provide an immediate solution to this problem... This was my message to EU leaders, and it was well received," said Roberta Metsola.// 19.12.2024 — InfoMarket.
