""What is happening in the energy sector today is not an accident. Russia's attacks on the civilian energy infrastructure in Ukraine represent a war crime, but also an attack on us, here in the Republic of Moldova ... Russia is the only one responsible for this.""
""We remain vigilant and act for the safety of every citizen ... This is not a measure of panic, it's a measure of responsibility.""
Moldova's Parliament voted to impose a 60-day state of emergency in the energy sector following Russian strikes on Ukraine that disconnected a vital power line to Romania. Authorities urged citizens to conserve electricity during repairs. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu condemned Russia's actions as war crimes and emphasized the need for rapid mobilization of resources to protect critical infrastructure. Moldova's energy systems remain linked to Ukraine, leading to periodic outages since the invasion began in 2022. Repairs to the damaged power line are estimated to take five to seven days.
