The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky in an interview with the Russia-24 TV channel spoke about the causes and negative consequences of the energy crisis

The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky gave an interview to the Russian TV channel, Russia 24, and spoke about how Moldova is creating a humanitarian crisis in Pridnestrovie.

The main points voiced by the President are quoted by the News of Pridnestrovie agency:

• Pridnestrovie agreed to all of Kishinev's conditions for the supply of natural gas: through Moldovagaz, purchases from European traders. The gas should have arrived by now. However, 5 days have passed, and we have seen nothing from Moldova except false statements and accusations against the PMR and Russia.

• ​​ Kishinev is discriminating against residents of Pridnestrovie on the basis of their territory. 220000 Russian citizens live here, and they are deprived of the most important thing – energy resources.

• Moldova is artificially dragging everything out in order to bring the humanitarian situation to the brink. Where everything can be resolved in an hour, it drags on for a day or two, and where it can be resolved in a day, everything is stretched out for 10 days.

• Incomprehensible politicization on the part of Moldova: in exchange for supplies, it demands the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers. This approach is unacceptable.

• People are getting sick because of the energy crisis and are already dying from carbon monoxide poisoning and fires. The inhumanity of Moldovan politicians is astounding.

• The gas that remains in the pipe will run out IN a couple of days. It will be very difficult without it.

• It will take 2-3 months to restore heating in homes if the gas in the system disappears.

• Coal reserves for generating electricity at the Moldavian GRES are until February 16-17 at the latest. There is no more coal and there will not be. The Moldavian GRES only needs anthracite, and there is nowhere to get it from yet.

• Gas can be delivered to Pridnestrovie even tomorrow if Maia Sandu finally fulfills her promise. The republic should receive 3 million cubic meters of gas per day. This is the volume that is needed to generate electricity for Pridnestrovie and for thermal power engineering.
