Separatist region didn't pay for gas for 30 years and now when Ukraine stop transition of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory separatists are without gas.........they have no idea what is to pay for gas !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Separatist leader blame Republic of Moldova in this problem ?????
The separatists (or fighters for freedom for others) have direct gas contracts with Russia and their payments have no impact on the ability of Moldova to pay for gas. Also if Ukraine cut off the gas … perhaps Ukraine can provide the gas to Moldova? After all Ukraine is a magic country where money come and disappear and come again
@@ЛюдмилаАртюшкинаthe goverment in the so called region of transnistria havent payed for gas in decades !!!! the last confirmed payment was in 2005 , the current outstanding bill is over 11,1billion dollars !! mean while the money citizens in transnistria paid in utility bills went straight to the authorities ! who probably spent it how they wished....not paying their outstanding bills !
To give more context: Voronita was artificially kept connected to the Transnistrian grid(the reason for power cuts) but the new government is working on connecting all those border villages to Moldova’s grid, because these villages are inside Moldova. Transnistria’s electricity grid is heavily reliant on gas and Russia is refusing right now to pipe through Turkey, hoping Ukraine will reopen the pipe, because that one goes to Hungary as well.
Hungary buys Russian gas via Turkey for a couple of years now. There are solutions to bring gas to Transnistria today, but Gazprom refuses to deliver via this route and Transnistria refuses to buy from somebody else.
@@gaborrajnai6213 no, it goes through Bulgaria and Romania; and from Romania there is a pipeline towards Ukraine and Transnistria; as I said, there are technical solutions, the problem is political;
Some context: MoldovaGaz received a note from Gazprom saying Moscow will not deliver gas to Moldova starting with January 1st due to older unpaid gas bills (amount contested by Moldova). However, Moldova is fine with it’s gas supplies and does have gas and electricity. The pro Russian Transdniestria is not receiving any gas starting with January 1st and therefore has no gas at all, while also not capable of producing enough electricity for itself. They are disconnecting electricity for everyone several hours a day, their factories are closed, they cannot produce heating for apartments, they cannot make money by exporting electricity to the rest of Moldova and Ukraine etc. Moreover, they are currently producing electricity using not gas but coal, purchased before 2014 from Donbas, and they will run out of that coal in a few weeks while not able to renew the coal supplies. Varnita, where the lady lives, is a suburb of the city of Tighina/Bender, which is controlled by the pro-Russian Transnistria. Varnita itself is controlled by Chisinau but it is interconnected with Transnistria’s electricity grid and gas pipes, so they suffer similarly these days. The rest of Moldova does have gas and electricity. Russia can provide gas to Transnistria via the balkans, not sure why they are not doing that, and if they do not do that in the next month, pro-Russian Transnistria will most probably collapse.
Give honest context Moldova does not dispute that it owes Russia money, it only disputes that it owes Russia the amount of 700 million USD. Let them pay what they believe they owe 1st.
I am very confused by this. I was under the impression that Russia had announced that it would supply some gas to Transnistria, apparently they didn't.
Ukraine TOLD Moldova and Russia that they would honor the contract that allows Russian gas to travel through Ukraine into Moldova back in 2022. The contract expired in January 2025. Who's fault is it that neither Moldova or Russia did ANYTHING to prepare for it? They had THREE YEARS to prepare alternatives, this wasn't a surprise, Ukraine was honoring the contract signed BEFORE Russia invaded them. It's a miracle they did even that much. Moldova and Russia are to blame, they did NOTHING for 3 years to prepare for it being shut off, they knew it was coming.

This is pretty bad reporting. 99.9% of Moldova has gas and electicity. Transnistria doesn't (they are de facto a different state). And this village in Moldova is part of that 0.1% because of some unusual arrangement left unchanged.
Building a house in the Netherlands gas is prohibited. A well insulated house is warmed by the sun most of the time and keeping it cool is a bigger concern. At cold misty times like right now, only a tiny bit of electricity is needed. But if you are used to dirt cheap gas this knowledge will not warm your house.

Filming an underdeveloped rural area where many people commonly use firewood or coal as primary heating material while blaming & issuing Russians for cutting gas supply. Yeah, yeah. Everything is Russia's fault.
For every problem there are usually multiple solutions. Temporary solutions for electricity and heat: 1. Solar lanterns are very inexpensive but highly efficient for providing light as they are small and last for several hours each time they are recharged by the sun. 2. Rocket stoves are much better for cooking and heating than traditional wood stoves or gas. Biomass pellets made from recycled paper and wood waste are ideal for fuel. The rocket stoves could also heat small radiators for longer lasting heat. Everything can (and should) be produced locally or regionally. Permanent solutions: 1. Solar panels for every home and then CHP (Combined Heat & Power) and Enhanced Geothermal energy for commercial and industrial use. The three biggest challenges are always Scale, Scope, and Speed of deployment. Cost is a minor factor when the solution is immediate and the ROI is both short term and ongoing. Nobody would ever be in the dark or cold in their homes again.
@@randomguy7175 you still struggled to understand that all this happened because of war ??? This is what happened when you are invading your neighbors each times welcome to reality

@ That's right, and these countries are already deciding whether to share their gas or not. As soon as the gas enters Turkey, it is already Turkish. What is difficult to understand?

@@ikt123 we live well. I don’t recommend looking into other people’s pockets. We call this “see a speck in someone else’s eye, but don’t notice a log in own” - Russian wisdom.
I don't understand. Russia cut the gas from the very breakaway region that they were supposed to support? Wouldn't that make Transnistria more likely to rejoin Moldova?
They have another pipe coming through Turkey. Russians refuse to pipe through the other paths, insisting Ukraine reopens theirs, because that one goes to Hungary.
On your comment maybe? Russia can supply gas in other ways but has decided not to, don't be sad that big daddy Russia doesn't care about you (this is normal)
@ Moldova supports Ukraine and their own independence in the EU. Why doesn't the EU give them gas and bail them out. Why all of a sudden is it Russias problem, the pipes ran through Ukraine and were operated by them. Who then chose to cut it off. Sounds like Zelensky is the one who doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Gas supplied to this region is thru Turkiye. Russia did not pay the bill. Transnistria is a "break out region" of Russia, like Kelinengrad. The UA pipeline went across to Poland.
Half the comments here are saying it was Ukraine that turned off the gas and the other half are saying that it WAS Russia that did it but it was because Moldova didn't pay for the gas, please Russian trolls make up your mind which one was it?
You need any clue regarding whether those civilians are influenced by russia, just look at what language they choose to speak. The moldovan republic was part of Romania, they spoke and speak romanian (they like to call it moldovan, but it's just romanian with an accent). Back in the days of the USSR that territory was broken off of romania, and received a massive injection of russian citizens so as to russify the area.
The contract Between Russia and Ukraine expired and since they are at war they no longer renewed the contract. Ukraine honored the transit contract for the entire period it was in effect even though they could have cut supplies since the start of the war.
@@AlexandruVoda exactly, so why is the video named "Russia turned off the gas" and not "Ukraine turned off gas supply to Moldova because the contract expired".
The real problem here is that Transnistria had 3 YEARS to come up with alternate energy supplies and did not. Expecting Ukraine to help out with gas to anyone pro-Russia is ludicrous. Transnistria not only failed to work with anyone else for gas or LPG supplies, they apparently have not tried importing coal, which is available from several sources including the USA. (Long coal trains destined for export pass a bridge not too far from me, several times a day.)
On January 1, 2025, at 8:00 Moscow time, the agreement dated December 30, 2019 between Gazprom and Naftogaz of Ukraine on gas transit through Ukraine, as well as between Gazprom and Operator of the Gas Transportation System of Ukraine LLC, expired. "Due to the repeated and explicit refusal of the Ukrainian side to extend these agreements, Gazprom was deprived of the technical and legal opportunity to supply gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 2025. Since 8:00 Moscow time, Russian gas has not been supplied for its transportation through the territory of Ukraine," the energy company said in a Telegram channel message.
It is not Russia that is shutting off gas supplies to Moldova, but Ukraine that is not willing to extend the transit contract. Have some dignity, don't spread lies.
@@ricardocabrera8344yes they did, but don't say "Russia shuts off gas" cause that's a lie they didn't shut it off, Ukraine did, stop lying, that's what he is saying.
Susana in Varnitsa lives in Moldova but has Russian as mother tongue. In Transnistria they are mostly speaking Russian and in Moldova they speak mostly Romanian. which is a Latin language and can be easily learnt by those who knows Italian.
I think it's wood stove, and time taken to get it going. Disclaimer: I'm Australian. I have no experience with wood stoves. Or any indoor fire. (not counting those that start outdoors and go indoors.)
That kind of fireplace needs a steady but not too big fire to heat up a house, it has a big mass that keeps warm for long. However, when it cools down, it can take hours to warm up again.
@@bobs_toysa wood stove gets very hot in about 20min for the one room only. They might not have a back boiler attached to the wooden stove for showers though, seeing as they always depended on gas boilers.
The EU should step in and very quickly build up Moldovan energy infrastructure with cheap loans, as well as helping to supply for their current energy needs to prevent Moldova falling into Russian hands, as well as helping Transnistria reunite with Moldova
@dabhand6796 gas to Moldova from Russia ALWAYS was going through Ukraine, not Turkiye! Now when UKRAINE shut the valve (FACT!), Russia is in negotiation with Moldova to deliver gas through Turkish stream.
Having kids can be a big responsibility. We should think carefully before bringing a new life into the world. Can we give them a stable and happy future? It's not fair to bring a child into a world with many problems. Being a parent is a big job, and we should try to make the world a better place before having more children.
DW looks sometimes like RT. Barely a mention of the situation in Transnistria, which is the epicenter of the crisis. And it's all due to Russia cutting the supply, and their puppets in Transnistria not accepting the Moldovan government assistance. Border villages are connected to the Transnistrian supply, that is being corrected now by Moldova.
There are options, the problem is that the Transnistria "government" doesn't want to pay the real market price for the energy. They got used with the extremely cheap Russian energy. So they prefered to shut down everything instead.
Moldova voted. It was possible to vote for candidates representing the European path, gradual integration with the EU or cooperation with Russia. Supporters of the European development path won by a margin of one percent. If the pro-Russian residents of Transnistria become part of Moldova, what will be the result of future votes, taking into account their votes?
Russians coping hard right now that they have nothing to argue about except for the fact that Russia got its gas pipeline shutdown because it attacked Ukraine

Maybe use all 4 brain cells you have and think for a second why Ukraine doesn't want to allow Russia to export gas... then use those solid 4 brain cells to realise that Moldova has known about this for just as long.
It was a contract that lead to the supply being turned off. Obviously, Ukraine will not renew any agreements with their enemy. It is a miracle they even committed to honoring the agreement and kept the supply running for as long as they did. Also, every country using that pipeline had years to find an alternative, since its permanent shutoff was known to happen once the contract ended.

@ikt123 if you do your research, you will find- ukrain refused to continue with the contract of gas transit through ukrain- so the gas stopped. Ukrain made a lot of money by this contract, 2 European countries threatened to stop supplying ukrain with electricity because ukrain was stopping their gas supplies.

Indeed, Moldova needs tighter integration into the EU ASAP, they have been too reliant on Orc Central for too long, now they are without gas because of Russias actions. Hopefully they can integrate faster.

This is pretty bad reporting. 99.9% of Moldova has gas and electicity. Transnistria doesn't (they are de facto a different state). And this village in Moldova is part of that 0.1% because of some unusual arrangement left unchanged.
Thought Ukraine blocked the Russian gas at the start of 2025, not Russia choosing to turn it off?
wrong. Gas deal expired.
Building a house in the Netherlands gas is prohibited. A well insulated house is warmed by the sun most of the time and keeping it cool is a bigger concern. At cold misty times like right now, only a tiny bit of electricity is needed. But if you are used to dirt cheap gas this knowledge will not warm your house.

Or it was Ukraine which did that three weeks ago.
Filming an underdeveloped rural area where many people commonly use firewood or coal as primary heating material while blaming & issuing Russians for cutting gas supply. Yeah, yeah. Everything is Russia's fault.

Back to Neolithic good old days, thanks to president Sandu who doesn't want to pay for gas
uklies stopped it report the full story or not at all
For every problem there are usually multiple solutions.
Temporary solutions for electricity and heat:
1. Solar lanterns are very inexpensive but highly efficient for providing light as they are small and last for several hours each time they are recharged by the sun.
2. Rocket stoves are much better for cooking and heating than traditional wood stoves or gas. Biomass pellets made from recycled paper and wood waste are ideal for fuel. The rocket stoves could also heat small radiators for longer lasting heat.
Everything can (and should) be produced locally or regionally.
Permanent solutions:
1. Solar panels for every home and then CHP (Combined Heat & Power) and Enhanced Geothermal energy for commercial and industrial use.
The three biggest challenges are always Scale, Scope, and Speed of deployment. Cost is a minor factor when the solution is immediate and the ROI is both short term and ongoing. Nobody would ever be in the dark or cold in their homes again.
Russia letting its own allies freeze.

The pipeline goes through Ukraine and they are trying to make transnistria suffer so Russia will attack towards there where Ukraine has defensive lines set up rather than towards pokrovsk or chasivyar where Russia is winning

For everyone blaming Ukraine for cutting the gas pipeline to Transnistria you should know that there are multiple pipelines that can be used to transport gas. RUSSIA CUT OFF THE SUPPLY!!!!
Since January 1, 2025, Gazprom has stopped supplying fuel to Europe through the Ukrainian gas transportation system due to Ukraine's refusal to extend the transit agreement.
@ There is another pipeline that goes trough turkey, romania and bulgaria.
@ That's right, and these countries are already deciding whether to share their gas or not. As soon as the gas enters Turkey, it is already Turkish. What is difficult to understand?

On your comment maybe? Russia can supply gas in other ways but has decided not to, don't be sad that big daddy Russia doesn't care about you (this is normal)
Moreover, Russia said that they can supply gas to Moldova, if Moldova will pay $700M in advance, but Ukrainian drones fixed that problem.
@ Moldova supports Ukraine and their own independence in the EU. Why doesn't the EU give them gas and bail them out. Why all of a sudden is it Russias problem, the pipes ran through Ukraine and were operated by them. Who then chose to cut it off. Sounds like Zelensky is the one who doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Gas supplied to this region is thru Turkiye. Russia did not pay the bill. Transnistria is a "break out region" of Russia, like Kelinengrad.
The UA pipeline went across to Poland.

You need any clue regarding whether those civilians are influenced by russia, just look at what language they choose to speak. The moldovan republic was part of Romania, they spoke and speak romanian (they like to call it moldovan, but it's just romanian with an accent). Back in the days of the USSR that territory was broken off of romania, and received a massive injection of russian citizens so as to russify the area.
how can you say moscow shout down a gas, just few days ago you where saying that its zelenski, decide yourself.
Ukraine turned off the gas...Zelensky said it with his own mouth is stop, Russia profiting from the gas...😂😂
It was Russia that turned it off - there is, for example, the Turkish Stream for this. But Russia and Russian bots are lying about it!
The contract Between Russia and Ukraine expired and since they are at war they no longer renewed the contract. Ukraine honored the transit contract for the entire period it was in effect even though they could have cut supplies since the start of the war.
Negotiations 101. If you assault your business partner, you can be certain that your partner will retaliate.
@@AlexandruVoda exactly, so why is the video named "Russia turned off the gas" and not "Ukraine turned off gas supply to Moldova because the contract expired".
@@AlexandruVodathat still doesn't change the fact that Ukraine stopped the gas. Not russia.
The real problem here is that Transnistria had 3 YEARS to come up with alternate energy supplies and did not. Expecting Ukraine to help out with gas to anyone pro-Russia is ludicrous.
Transnistria not only failed to work with anyone else for gas or LPG supplies, they apparently have not tried importing coal, which is available from several sources including the USA. (Long coal trains destined for export pass a bridge not too far from me, several times a day.)
The ordinary people in the EU will pay a high price for they extremely rich politicians
A significant key detail is missing from this report. Honestly, DW. Liars.
Lie down with dogs get up with fleas. Russia didn't even try to renew the gas contract 😂
Dude,get your fact right:it's the effn Ukrainian gov.that stops allowing the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine that caused the crisis !!!!!!!!
That’s what dependency from just one deliverer may cause. Germany wanted to have the same kind of dependence with their Nord Stream pipelines.
On January 1, 2025, at 8:00 Moscow time, the agreement dated December 30, 2019 between Gazprom and Naftogaz of Ukraine on gas transit through Ukraine, as well as between Gazprom and Operator of the Gas Transportation System of Ukraine LLC, expired.
"Due to the repeated and explicit refusal of the Ukrainian side to extend these agreements, Gazprom was deprived of the technical and legal opportunity to supply gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 2025. Since 8:00 Moscow time, Russian gas has not been supplied for its transportation through the territory of Ukraine," the energy company said in a Telegram channel message.
It is not Russia that is shutting off gas supplies to Moldova, but Ukraine that is not willing to extend the transit contract.

That kind of fireplace needs a steady but not too big fire to heat up a house, it has a big mass that keeps warm for long. However, when it cools down, it can take hours to warm up again.
@@bobs_toysa wood stove gets very hot in about 20min for the one room only. They might not have a back boiler attached to the wooden stove for showers though, seeing as they always depended on gas boilers.
The EU should step in and very quickly build up Moldovan energy infrastructure with cheap loans, as well as helping to supply for their current energy needs to prevent Moldova falling into Russian hands, as well as helping Transnistria reunite with Moldova

DW looks sometimes like RT. Barely a mention of the situation in Transnistria, which is the epicenter of the crisis. And it's all due to Russia cutting the supply, and their puppets in Transnistria not accepting the Moldovan government assistance. Border villages are connected to the Transnistrian supply, that is being corrected now by Moldova.
Ukraine stopped the Gas
What is going on with humanity......😮😮😮😮
if only they payed their bills for the Gas provided by Russia...
There are options, the problem is that the Transnistria "government" doesn't want to pay the real market price for the energy. They got used with the extremely cheap Russian energy. So they prefered to shut down everything instead.

@@bulthaosen1169 MoldovaGaz received a note from Gazprom saying Moscow will not deliver gas to Moldova starting with January 1st due to older unpaid gas bills (contested by Moldova). However, Moldova is fine with it’s gas supplies and does have gas and electricity. The pro Russian Transdniestria is not receiving any gas starting with January 1st and therefore has no gas at all, while also not capable of producing enough electricity for itself. They are disconnecting electricity for everyone several hours a day, their factories are closed, they cannot produce heating for apartments, they cannot make money by exporting electricity to the rest of Moldova and Ukraine etc. Moreover, they are currently producing electricity using not gas but coal, purchased before 2014 from Donbas, and they will run out of that coal in a few weeks while not able to renew the coal supplies. Varnita, where the lady lives, is a suburb of the city of Tighina/Bender, which is controlled by the pro-Russian Transnistria. Varnita itself is controlled by Chisinau but it is interconnected with Transnistria’s electricity grid and gas pipes, so they suffer similarly these days. The rest of Moldova does have gas and electricity. Russia can provide gas to Transnistria via the balkans, not sure why they are not doing that, and if they do not do that in the next month, pro-Russian Transnistria will most probably collapse.
Didnt Ukraine turn off the gas by blocking Russian gas transfers through Ukraine? Thats how gas got into Moldova. Russia has no problem supplying Moldova but Ukraine wont allow it. Or am i wrong?
Maybe use all 4 brain cells you have and think for a second why Ukraine doesn't want to allow Russia to export gas... then use those solid 4 brain cells to realise that Moldova has known about this for just as long.
you are absolutely right.
It was a contract that lead to the supply being turned off. Obviously, Ukraine will not renew any agreements with their enemy. It is a miracle they even committed to honoring the agreement and kept the supply running for as long as they did. Also, every country using that pipeline had years to find an alternative, since its permanent shutoff was known to happen once the contract ended.
