Moldovan electricity transmission operator Moldelektrika is facing major difficulties due to Russian attacks last night on neighboring Ukraine's energy system and has asked Romania for electricity assistance.
"The large power plant has been shut down, and interconnections are approaching their limit. Due to exceeding the planned flow, Moldelektrika has requested emergency assistance from Romania," the statement said, as reported by the Parisian newspaper Le Monde.
Russia attacked energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv, Zaporizhia, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk regions of Ukraine last night, according to its data.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy announced that several regions (Kyiv, Chernihiv, Lviv, Odessa, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv) were affected by the attacks, which caused power outages.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that companies of the "Ukrainian military-industrial complex and the energy infrastructure that supports its functioning" were attacked, as well as port facilities used "in the interests of the Ukrainian armed forces."
