Moldova has inaugurated the Vulcănești–Chișinău power line, enabling energy imports from Romania without passing through Transnistria. President Maia Sandu emphasized that this infrastructure reduces energy vulnerability previously exploited by Moscow. The project, costing 61 million euros, was delayed due to the Ukraine war but is now operational, enhancing energy security and independence. European Commissioner Marta Kos noted this marks a significant shift in Moldova's energy relationship with Russia, allowing for diversified energy sources. Despite ongoing high energy costs, the EU pledges continued support for Moldova's energy needs.
