Existing communications between countries are insufficient.
Romania will continue to supply electricity to Moldova, but the networks between the countries are insufficient.
According to Reuters, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said that his country is ready to continue supplying electricity to neighboring Moldova, as Russian shelling in Ukraine damages its energy supply.
However, existing communications between countries are insufficient. “Until now, we have delivered everything we were asked for, but failures occur, because the Romanian-Moldovan networks are absolutely insufficient. Most of the electricity transmitted by Romania still passes through Ukraine,” the President of Romania emphasized.
