The disruption of Russian gas
supplies, linked to a halt in transit in Ukraine and the
pro-Russian breakaway region of Transnistria in Moldova, has
forced the closure of all industrial companies, with the
exception of food producers. According to international media,
the territory, which is predominantly Russian-speaking and has a
population of approximately 450,000 people, was separated from
Moldova in the 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union and
suffered a hard and immediate blow as a result of the supply
interruption.
