According to media reports, Sandu noted that financial support for the Transnistrian region is possible with the assistance of development partners.

“We are ready, with the support of donors – this is very important to note – to provide financial assistance to the Left Bank. But this will become possible after the withdrawal of the Russian army and the replacement of the peacekeeping mission with a civilian mission under the auspices of the UN or the EU. These are the main conditions under which we can come and provide substantial aid. I repeat, this aid must come from our development partners, because we are still in a difficult financial situation,” Sandu emphasized.

She also noted that Chisinau is ready to provide Transnistria with generators or medical aid.

“We repeat our offer, including the help we can provide: generators, medical aid, medicine – everything that people need during this period,” added the President of Moldova.

We will remind

Earlier UNN wrote that due to the termination of the supply of Russian gas, the energy deficit in Transnistria reached 30%. Moldova offered Tiraspol alternative gas purchase options, but did not receive a response.

The European Commission called on Transnistria to stop blocking Moldova’s proposals for alternative energy sources. The region was left without heating after gas supplies to the Russian Federation stopped due to the expiration of the transit agreement.
