Transnistria, a pro-Russian breakaway region in Moldova, is grappling with an energy crisis following the suspension of Russian gas supplies via Ukraine. The region's leader urged residents to use firewood for heating and warned of power outages.

I am sure that everyone is accepting this stage with understanding,” Krasnoselskyi wrote on Telegram on Friday. “The government has developed a schedule, based on which it will be possible to organize everyday life and activity with the least inconvenience.” Temperatures in the Transnistrian capital Tiraspol were forecast to hover slightly above freezing over the weekend, as a cold snap passes through much of Europe, though the European winter has otherwise been relatively mild so far.
