Transdniestria, a Moldovan region, receives gas supplies backed by a Russian loan, resolving an energy crisis after Ukraine halted transit.
KYIV (Reuters) - Moldova's pro-Russian breakaway Transdniestria region started receiving gas supplies under a loan provided by Moscow, separatist authorities said on Friday.
Transdniestrian leader Vadim Krasnoselsky said in a statement on Telegram that gas deliveries were possible due to Russian loan assistance and cooperation with Russia's Ministry of Energy.
Russian gas flows to Transdniestria via Ukraine stopped at the start of January when Ukraine refused to extend a transit agreement.
Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said earlier this month that his country would not block the gas flows under an arrangement involving Hungary's MET Gas and Energy Marketing AG.
