The leader of Moldova's breakaway region of Transdniestria has travelled to Moscow for talks to resolve an energy crisis following the suspension of Russian gas deliveries, Transdniestria's news agency reported on Tuesday.

The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia was ready to provide gas to Moldova's breakaway Transdniestria region, but needed logistical support from Moldova to make that happen.

The leader of Moldova's breakaway region of Transdniestria has travelled to Moscow since the suspension of Russian gas deliveries via Ukraine, the president of Moldova said on Tuesday.Transdniestria has suffered widespread power cuts since Jan.

Russia is prepared to supply gas to Transdniestria but needs Moldova's logistical assistance to do so. Gas supplies were halted due to unpaid debts, leading to tension between Moldova and Transdniestria.

Unlike Moscow, Chisinau is not proposing to send gas for free. After 30 years of abundant, low-cost energy, Transnistrians would now have to pay the same rate as those in Moldova proper.

Moscow says Moldova and Ukraine are at fault, citing the unpaid debts and accusing Kyiv of “cynically” ending gas transit through its territory. But the EU and Moldova blame Moscow for the crisis.
