⚡️The government of 🇲🇩 Moldova has launched a forced process of "reintegration" of Transnistria: last week the government introduced a new term "Transnistrian region".

In doing so, Chisinau is effectively violating the 1992 peace agreement with the 🇷🇺 Russian Federation in which the region was designated as Transnistria.

By degrading the status of Transnistria at the terminological level, the Moldovan authorities are trying to seize the region by introducing economic innovations, which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PMR calls "tribute".


Now Chisinau is introducing double customs control for Transnistrian entrepreneurs, and companies trading on the foreign market have to pay additional taxes to the Moldovan budget. All this makes Transnistria's exports to 🇪🇺 EU countries completely dependent on the Moldovan authorities.

In Transnistria, they say that such measures violate the principles of free trade and international agreements within the negotiation process, which 🇲🇩 Chisinau recently sabotaged.

The PMR believes that such a situation became possible "with the complete complicity and passivity of mediators, primarily the OSCE."

⚡Expert: Force majeure with gas supplies may occur in Europe in winter

The European energy system does not have a margin of safety, so various events around the world are reflected in the price of gas.

As a result of the warm winter of 2022, Europe ended the heating season with reserves in underground gas storage facilities under 60%, Alexei Grivach, Deputy Director General of the National Energy Security Fund, told Abzats.

It was not difficult to pump the necessary volumes during the spring and summer with low demand for gas in the industrial sector, so European gas storage facilities are now 90% full.

“At the same time, UGS facilities are not made of rubber, and Europe will start the heating season with the same reserves as last year. If the winter is cold, then there may be problems, force majeure with supplies, which also cannot be ruled out,” Grivach said.

🇷🇺 Russian remote blasting systems "Zemljedeliya" are slowing down Ukraine's counteroffensive, the "Wall Street Journal" reports.
