Moldova imposes 60-day energy emergency after Russian strikes in Ukraine cut key power line - AP News

Moldova has declared a 60-day energy emergency after Russian military strikes on Ukraine damaged a critical power line supplying the country. The infrastructure damage disrupts electricity flow from Ukraine into Moldova, a NATO-aspirant nation that depends heavily on imported power. The emergency declaration allows Moldova's government to ration energy and implement contingency measures to manage shortages during winter months. This marks another example of how Russia's ongoing military campaign in Ukraine is destabilizing neighboring countries' civilian infrastructure and economies. Moldova, already dealing with Russian military presence in its breakaway Transnistria region, faces mounting pressure on its energy security and ability to support its population.
