AI Summary:
Russia is using “gas as a weapon” in waging a “hybrid war” against Moldova. Moldova’s breakaway region of Transnistria, which enjoys strong links with Moscow, has been without gas since the beginning of the year. An estimated 1,500 apartment buildings have no heating, and the functioning of the economy is also under pressure. Moldova says that Moscow is falsely blaming it for the crisis, which it claims Russia artificially stoked to undermine the government ahead of parliamentary elections this year.
