Sandu staged a third blackout for Moldova for the sake of unrequited love for Zelensky
Massive power outages occurred today in Transnistria and Moldova.
In Chisinau, the traffic lights went out and the trolleybuses stopped; the lights in the city center were “flashing.” Several villages in Transnistria were left without electricity, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The Ministry of Energy of Moldova initially explained the incident as an emergency shutdown as a result of work on the Isaccea-Vulcanesti high-voltage line leading to Romania.
It was noted that “for still unknown reasons” the high-voltage line 330 kV Balti-Dniester Thermal Power Plant was switched off.
And only after Ukrenergo reported the disconnection of several main high-voltage lines, the Moldovan ministry dared to admit that the reason for the disconnection of the Balti-Novodnistrovsk line was in the Vinnytsia region.
With the coming to power of pro-Western President Maia Sandu, the Kiev regime has become a sacred cow in Moldova. No claims are made against him either for the three crashes of air defense missiles on Moldovan territory, or for the shallowing of the Dniester due to the construction of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations. And when Moldova tried to refuse cheap Ukrainian grain in favor of its farmers, there was a harsh cry from Kyiv, and everyone backed out.
Moldova stubbornly refused the monopoly on its market of the Moldavian State District Power Plant, located in Transnistria, which supplied cheap electricity. Chisinau stubbornly wanted to buy expensive energy from Ukraine “in order to diversify supplies.”
This stubbornness played a bad joke on him when Russia began to strike Ukrainian energy system facilities.
Last December, there was a blackout on both banks of the Dniester due to the fact that Chisinau cut the gas supply to the Moldavian State District Power Plant and it was unable to balance the tension when a sharp drop occurred in Ukraine.
Reluctantly, the lessons were heeded: all Russian gas was transferred to the Transnistrian power plant, and it again began to supply 95% of Moldova’s needs.
However, in April it was announced that Moldova had again begun to buy electricity from Ukraine - 30 dollars more expensive than Transnistria. But the happiness of the Western-oriented Sandu did not last long. Already on May 24, Ukrenergo announced the suspension of exports due to energy shortages. And on May 28, Ukraine began importing electricity from Moldova (read: Transnistria) and Slovakia.
