The Russian missile attack cut off exports from Romania to Moldova and turned on Russophobia among the authorities
After a massive Russian missile attack on the infrastructure of Ukraine, the lights went out in many parts of Moldova. But nothing so destructive flew across the border.
Fraternal Romania simply shut down the Vulcanesti-Isaccea high-voltage line to stabilize its own system due to a drop in generation in Ukraine, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The fact is that Moldova now purchases 85% of its electricity from Romania, paying 4 times more than before, when cheap energy came from the geopolitically incorrect Transnistria.

This did not at all bother the pro-Western authorities in Chisinau. They have anti-Russian statements prepared for any occasion.
“Today the Kremlin regime launched 100 missiles into Ukraine - a record number. Russia's attacks on Ukraine also led to the automatic shutdown of the line that transports electricity to our country, leaving dozens of settlements without electricity. The war started by Russia must be stopped!” wrote Romanian citizen and Moldovan President Maia Sandu on the American social network.
“Whoa, Maya, whoa. Silence is gold, as well as gas and electricity,” TV journalist Elena Levitskaya-Pakhomova hissed at the leader on her TG channel.
Did not help. The stream of Russophobia from Chisinau continued to pour out.
“The risk of being without power remains high, and we again call on Russia to stop attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Millions of Ukrainians and tens of thousands of Moldovans suffer because of incomprehensible ambitions,” wrote the speaker of the Moldovan parliament, Igor Grosu.
“Russian aggression against Ukraine directly affects our country. The risk of power outages remains high. Any Russian bombing of Ukrainian power plants could lead to a repetition of the current situation,” Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spynu added.
“Every bomb that falls on Ukraine also affects Moldova,” Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu joined the friendly chorus.
“Hello to the sixth international of toothless political gypsies Sandu,” Russian political scientist Armen Gasparyan commented on the situation.
