Former Soviet republic Moldova has been hit the hardest by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It relies on gas and electricity from Russia. Now, the Moscow-backed breakaway region of Transnistria has stopped supplying energy.
Talks to resolve the crisis failed on Friday.
Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons reports from Chisinau, Moldova.

*Moldova🇲🇩 have problem in Transnistria.*
Russia must leave from Transnistria & peace!
Nothing good by becoming US puppet regime. Moldovo should join with the multipolar countries that is free and independent.
Nothing good comes from being a moron.
Moldova is neither in the EU or NATO. They are having issues with their power supply because so much of it comes from Ukraine. Which is currently being invaded by Russia. That being their issues stem from the actions of Russia.
Pwned.
Russia Will Take Down Ukraine , Moldova and israel Very Soon, Inshallah.
Rezistati dragi Moldoveni, vor veni si timpuri mai bune!
când?
@Vitalie Scurtu Dupa furtuna apare soarele. Cine mai stie? Ideea e ca nimeni nu o duce stralucit in timpurile astea…asa ca nu curand.
The lesson in this short story, “don’t bite off the hand that feeds you “
The lesson in your comment: Pay attention to what’s actually going on before making a flippant comment.
@45641560456405640563 like you have any idea about what’s going on
Oh go home Russian troll you’re drunk
@W1SDOM Wisdom without a brain
Stop funding Ukraine! Let them surrender!!
Ok lets fund them even more.
Non of the former Soviet and Warsaw pact countries that have joined EU or NATO have seen any dramatic change in quality of life and GDP except Poland and Czechia. This is sad, don’t take sides, benefits doesn’t outweight the costs. Sit aside and don’t be a puppet of nobody.

You know you can look this up right? Lying only works when you can’t.
Basically all the former Soviet and Warsaw Pact nations located in Europe desperately wanted to get away from the grip of Russia. Why would that be? As for the benefits not outweighing the costs – vastly improved prospects and not having to worry about the Russian military paying an unwanted visit seem to be pretty good benefits.
Lies. Life is better in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia. Life is also better in former Yugoslavia countries like Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia. They have benefited greatly from EU funds. For good test look at life in Narva Estonia and Ivangorod Russia across the river. Ivangorod does not even have sewage treatment.
Haha of course they have, all of them are much richer now because of EU. Why are you lying? Its easy to check this data online.
Lesson, don’t be American’s dog
This is Moldova we’re talking about. But hey, squawk stupidity to your hearts content ……
A wise servant is worth more than a dishonorable son,
and he will share an inheritance with his brothers.
Why they can’t fight with Russians
They wont go Suicide mission like Belarus hesitates since Potato head knows its gonna be over with him when it fails.
Their future is associated with Russia in terms of cheap gas and oil. Make Russia 🇷🇺 friend not for.
Ahhh yes Russia, the country that has propped up the breakaway region within Moldova for 30 years. Yes, good idea. Bwahahahahaaaaaa
Actually, perfect time to do a joint attack with Ukraine to nail the 1500 Russians there.
Why does not sucker of qatars give some money to moldova which they save by slave labour?
Why America is not giving the patriot missile to Ukraine ? Because they want Ukraine to be the next Afghanistan
U know USA lost in Afghanistan right? And thus now collapsing
Its really a tragedy to be a neighbor of Russia.
Better than being a zionist cattle
Karma for being US lapdog
^^^Spotted the moron.
Throws your ally under the bus. Classic Russian propagandist.
Let the Maldova become 51 st state of USA and all the population move into USA and all the US military in to that Maldova state. So they can fight the Russians better.
The world can’t protect Ukraine because they are scared of Russia that is simple fact and ieven America can’t protect it! May God protect Ukraine and their brave soldiers 🇺🇦
like austria is oposing romania to enter shengen but they built roads in romania , and well here can be also that romania doesen’t want , not that democtratic then huh , but , we are the best of the best , because romania means new rome , and this austrians build build carousels for us , because well is romania right , so i said , well shengen what if ppl get shengen visa , then i guess moldovia will have poorer funds even in 100 years , because they could be workers for romania , so yeah heres choices , what to do.
This Man is just lying unnecessarily
Which man? There is more than one in the video. Which part is the lie? Just curious as to what you are referring to.
Really very sad situation. Hopefully the EU will provide assistance that helps on the ground.
Help who? EU also in energy crisis. They should seek help from USA their dear friend
@Zz Mmz
A) Help Moldova. That should have been obvious. Congratulations you made yourself look stupid.
B) Something tells me that the EU will be OK. Massive financial clout. Hence my hope that they’ll be able to help.
C) Moldova is neither in the EU or NATO. It is being hurt however due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This creepy knee-jerk stupidity so many people in this comment section seem to have whereby they automatically decide that Moldova is somehow a close US ally is only understandable if you accept that these people (ie such as yourself) are deeply brainwashed and unintelligent specimens who almost certainly squawk this sort of stupidity in almost any situation without having any real clue as to the geo-political realities.
@45641560456405640563 what?? Can’t you see people are complaining about the expensive energy bill all over Europe? Lol. Some countries already start to cut off electricity. The people.
@Zz Mmz Can’t you see that with the clout and capabilities of the EU solutions will be found? Higher than usual energy prices and higher than usual inflation won’t kill off the EU. Last I checked there wasn’t a single EU nation in technical recession. Germany actually has a labor shortage so that if nothing else would indicate there is plenty of work around – at least in Germany. Perhaps leaving flippant remarks on the internet isn’t a great use of your time.
Though at least you had the brains to stay silent in respect of my points A and C. That’s a start.
@45641560456405640563 this is the beginning of ww3. And the beginning the total collapse of USA and EU . This is not recession. It’s whole civilisation downturn of west. Or we can call it a 1000 year cycle . Brace yourself. But I think you’re just idiot. Keep denying the obvious
Should have joined Romania
No
Romania themselves are desperate
Prime Minister of Moldova sounds very depressed
God bless Modova
⬆️⬆️⬆️
Stay out of the eu , nato Moldova that way lies degeneracy and hostile immigration
Speaking of hostile immigration Moldova has a pretty good idea of how that works.
Russian Friends has reality check.
communism and socialism ruining lives. Satanism. and Humanism. waste.
The only truth is The Lord Christ.
What a pity.
Want to save the people in Europe and America from these lethal growing energy crisis and forthcoming recession with (1) trillions of kWh new cheap non-polluting electricity, and (2) other unprecedented crucial technologies, innovations, and solutions that will jumpstart all the financial engines.

Moldova is not crisis for Russsia but for Eu
