Transnistria faces severe heating cuts after a halt in Russian natural gas supplies due to Ukraine's decision not to renew the transit contract, impacting residents amidst freezing temperatures.
Tirasteploenergo warned that heating services will be cut, urging residents to prepare for potential indoor temperatures as low as 23 degrees Fahrenheit and advising on basic steps to conserve warmth.
The termination of the gas transit contract signifies a geopolitical shift, with EU countries, like Slovakia, still reliant on Russian gas, raising concerns amid ongoing tensions.
Despite critical infrastructure being prioritized for heating, the situation remains precarious for Transnistria's population of about 475,000, highlighting the vulnerability due to geopolitical decisions.
