Transnistria eases blackouts amid gas shortage (kyivindependent.com)

Authorities in Moldova's Russian-controlled region of Transnistria announced on Jan. 11 that energy-saving measures have allowed them to ease restrictions caused by a halt of Russian gas supplies. The duration of rolling blackouts is set to decrease further.

Moldova's pro-European central government said Moscow is responsible for the energy crisis.

Transnistria, a Russian-occupied region since the Soviet Union's collapse, has historically relied on Russian gas transported via Ukraine. The region has faced industrial collapse due to widespread power outages and heating failures.
