In Moldova's capital, Chisinau, concerns are rising as Russia's Gazprom plans to halt gas supplies to the country on Jan. 1 over an alleged $709 million debt, a claim disputed by Moldova's government. This move could lead to a severe energy shortage, impacting heating and electricity for many Moldovans.
The cessation of gas supply will affect the Kuciurgan power plant, the country's largest, located in the separatist Transnistria region. This plant generates electricity for a significant part of Moldova, raising fears of heating and electricity shortages.
