Moldova's Parliament has declared a 60-day energy emergency following Russian strikes in Ukraine that severed the crucial Isaccea-Vulcanesti power line, a primary link to Romania's electricity grid. The disconnection, which occurred overnight, has prompted Moldovan authorities to urge citizens to conserve power while repairs are estimated to take five to seven days. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu condemned the attacks as war crimes and a direct assault on Moldova, emphasizing that Russia bears full responsibility. This measure allows for faster mobilization of resources and protection of critical infrastructure. Moldova, which has experienced periodic outages since Russia's full invasion of Ukraine in 2022, relies heavily on this power line, which can supply 60-70% of its electricity needs.
