The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky once again addressed the President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu not to obstruct gas supplies to Pridnestrovie.
“I would like to address you. You are telling a very interesting story about your readiness to supply gas to Pridnestrovie. You are telling an interesting story about an open pipe, although you do not know where it is, its capabilities. You are telling an interesting story about Moldova not interfering. I am telling you openly: Moldova is interfering with gas supplies to Pridnestrovie. We have a real critical situation because of you. You discriminate against Pridnestrovian citizens in terms of heat and electricity supply”, told the President.
Vadim Krasnoselsky called on Moldovan politicians not to engage in intrigue and speculation.
“Russia has done everything to supply gas here. This gas will be purchased on European sites. You know perfectly well that Moldovagaz is supposedly conducting these negotiations. There are suppliers who have been agreed upon with you. Don't mislead people. Of course, we guarantee payment. It depends on you in terms of gas supplies to Pridnestrovie”, said Vadim Krasnoselsky.
The President focused on the statements about the readiness of Moldova and Ukraine to help Pridnestrovie with coal.
“Don't mislead people. The coal that Ukraine offered is gas coal. It is not suitable for our station according to its technical characteristics. Everyone knows this very well. If you don't believe me, ask the experts. There are none in Moldova, ask the Ukrainian experts – those who operate such stations. The coal that was officially offered to help Pridnestrovie is not suitable for the hydroelectric power station in Dnestrovsk”, told the President.
Vadim Krasnoselsky reported that he had previously instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare appeals on the situation in Pridnestrovie and send them to the United Nations, the Red Cross and the participants of the 5+2 format.
“These are statements about discrimination, attempts to profit from the misfortune of Pridnestrovie, attempts to squeeze everything possible out of this situation, to earn some dividends for the Moldovan authorities. This was before, this is still the case. Nothing has changed. Dear Western politicians, do not act as advocates for the Moldovan authorities. People are suffering. You can't experiment on people”, said Vadim Krasnoselsky.
The President of the PMR called on the Moldovan authorities to do everything possible to ensure that natural gas began flowing to Pridnestrovie again.
The address of President Vadim Krasnoselsky to the head of the neighboring state was made during today's conversation with journalists. Answering questions from media representatives, Vadim Krasnoselsky said that Pridnestrovie found a licensed Moldovan energy supplier back in late December, but met with fierce resistance from the Moldovan authorities.
“They simply became an insurmountable wall to the possible supply of gas to Pridnestrovie. Although, I am saying again that no one objected to the supply of gas to Pridnestrovie by any means”, said the President.
Vadim Krasnoselsky once again emphasized that Moldova is artificially delaying negotiations on gas supplies.
“What can be done in an hour, they do in a day, in two. What can be done in a day, they do in ten days. They deliberately delay all processes. This is a fact, it is obvious. The "talking heads" sow doubts, push some combinations, and their leaders say otherwise and agree differently at the same time”, said Vadim Krasnoselsky.
The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky commented on information circulated in the media about the possibility of starting gas supplies to Pridnestrovie on February 1.
“February 1, February 2, February 3 – these are all speculations. In reality, Moldova can deliver gas to Pridnestrovie today, tomorrow at the latest – if it wants to do so. They know all these scenarios, all these layouts, all these algorithms very well. In fact, the gas was supposed to be delivered to Pridnestrovie on the 20th, maximum the 21st, but today is the 23rd of January. They did everything in Moldova to deliberately drag out the situation, so that this would not happen, deliberately dragging out the humanitarian crisis in Pridnestrovie. These so-called dates – by and large, people come to certain conclusions due to their ignorance. The gas should have already been in Pridnestrovie, if not for the resistance of the Moldovan authorities”, said Vadim Krasnoselsky.
