3:30 am
the whole hour is still numb. and so we go out into the street, took a walk, warmed up anyway and back and beyond the gas crisis. she got up, almost the entire industry of the region, the largest garment factory in transnistria, is still working, but it seems only until the cold weather. this is a synthetic winterizer. this is where we wind up every morning. that's how the heat was turned off, well, in general, during the day. yes, it's cold, very cool. the population of transnistria is approximately 350,000 people, of which more than 220,000 are russian citizens according to the existing according to the gas agreement, out of five million seven hundred thousand cubic meters of gas per day, which were supplied from russia to moldova in october , 3,900,000 cubic meters were sent to pridnestrovie
3:31 am
, but from november 1, the moldovan authorities unilaterally sharply reduced so the water in the month of november reduced our volume to two- three digit. completely unsubstantiated. that is, i am more than sure that there were no calculations under it, this strong-willed decision and i will note. so this volume is below the uh needs of the population of social facilities and infrastructure enterprises, official chisinau explains the selection of gas destined for transnistria, firstly, by the reduction in supplies from russia a. secondly, by the fact that the moldovan country independently decides to whom and how much gas to distribute, which, apparently, contradicts the agreements, the volumes of russian gas supplied to moldova have indeed decreased, but this is primarily due to a significant decrease in transit through ukraine but more on that a little there is another important point below, moldova
3:32 am
systematically violates the terms of the contract with gazprom, delaying payment for supplies and in no way, not solving the problem with debts accumulated over several years, seized the volume of gas. it certainly covers the deficits of moldova that they have formed, and in addition, uh, according to our calculations on the volume of consumption in moldova, we believe that uh, half of the gas taken from us went to reserve for future periods. well, that is, uh, they sent this gas to the reserve. well, in fact, this is gas blackmail, uh, first of all, the russian side, that is, they are blackmailing gazprom is thus the russian leadership, what if you continue to reduce the volume of supplies to us or leave it at this, as it were, half-way level of supplies, then we will make sure that pridnestrovie suffers the most perfectly, understanding that russia cares. in general, the interests of transnistria are local residents of the population. a bit of background on the gas
3:33 am
issue, the agreement between gazprom and the moldovan country was signed last autumn after lengthy negotiations with the main terms the conclusion of the contract were timely payment for supplies and repayment of moldova for a long time before gazprom, which is more than 700 million dollars and hryvnia from the national energy security fund says that last year, between the end of the old long-term agreement and the conclusion of a new one , a contract was signed between gazprom and the moldovan country for a month for quite market conditions. they went completely tied to the spot market, the short-term contract market, and already then in october 21. the prices there were very high and they were immediately about 300 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters. they stepped over almost a thousand dollars for 1,000 cubic meters. and in this regard. it was a certain shock, which was recognized
3:34 am
, among other things, to show, in general, that if you want some european prices, because the new management of molda constantly said that there should be european free pricing. and in october, i can say they tried european pricing right away, getting very high prices. as a result, an agreement for 5 years was signed for quite comfortable for the moldovan country conditions during the heating season, when stock quotes are always high, the cost of gas is calculated based on the price of oil in the absence of a descriptive season, that is, in spring and summer, when stock quotes fall, the price of gas is formed on their basis, but violate the terms of an agreement that is quite favorable for oneself moldovan, the country started from the first month, withholding payment and, in fact, ignoring the issue of debt. moldova began to say that yes, we will return the debt for the previous contract, but we will conduct an audit. uh, gazprom perceived this an audit is as simple as drilling. in general, the volume of supply. that is, we will send you an invoice again, where it will be written. where did the very
3:35 am
house come from, moldova perceives. uh, here, this is a kind of audit, as an opportunity, on the one hand, for settlements, and on the other hand, to bargain later on how much money we will return to you, that is, they did not initially expect, but to return the entire debt in general. and therefore, when moldova says that we will buy gas there in romania , i don’t know in ukraine or somewhere else in european market, one must understand that with the presence of a long term under the old contract, no new contract has been concluded with them. obviously, during the negotiations in 2021, uninterrupted gas supplies to pridnestrovie were also discussed, in which chisinau is also interested from an economic point of view. the fact is that one of the largest gas consumers in pridnestrovie is located here, the moldavian gres station, which provided 70% of moldova's electricity needs. it is clear that they took the gas supposedly to generate
3:36 am
electricity. for them, and very cheap the price is three times lower than the one that they now. paid for deliveries from romania in informal conversations in pridnestrovie , they say that the moldovan country strongly recommended that not only all industry, but also social facilities be cut off from gas supplies, and the saved gas should be given to the moldovan state district power station, while increasing supplies or turning off their own enterprises from gases in favor of the state district power station chisinau refused. moldavskaya gres is by far the largest electricity producer in the region in 54 the station began to operate, to produce the first electricity. the peak of its production capacity was reached, perhaps, by the end of the eighties , when the station, working on donetsk coal and natural gas, produced a record amount
3:37 am
of electricity and supplied not only the entire soviet region, which is located nearby, but also electricity was and to romania and bulgaria , that is, countries. actually, such an idea was also laid in this capacity for the shortage of gas. now only one power unit works for aggression out of 12. yes, and that one is not at full capacity only on the domestic market energy exports to moldova stopped. from its capacity of about 100 megawatts will be fuel. we will conduct a full load of 200. mw, now 100 megawatts are enough to provide the entire transnistria. the station, as i said, is also designed to work on solid fuel on coal. we have a small supply of coal. unfortunately, it is insufficient, e, for e full-fledged
3:38 am
operation of the station at once for the entire large region that it provides. uh, we have uh coal remaining stocks. uh, donetsk coal. enough for just 2 months of work and only in transnistria, therefore, of course, we consider this scenario to be extremely negative and highly rely on natural gas supplies in order to avoid such a scenario. the moldavian gres now has 2,000 employees on the scale of transnistria, the station is a very large employer. we are currently operating as normal. we pay full wages none at the moment. we have not made a decision, but unfortunately, if further will continue we are considering several options several scenarios. from our work , up to the reduction of the working day, the number of people working now in moldova buys
3:39 am
electricity from romania, the head of the foreign ministry of this country, bogdan adressu, said that the supplies cover 90% of moldova's needs, the price of romanian electricity, of course, is much higher than pridnestrovian. in addition, our colleagues were very frivolous about the fact that the energy system, in particular, work, the moldavian state district power plant is very interconnected. just make decisions that we won’t supply gas with soap , there is electricity, we will take it elsewhere . eh, these relationships have a huge layer of technical nuances, and i will give an example. colleagues considered it possible that there was no energy contract, but they did not at all resolve the issue of electricity transportation. through our switchgear romanian electricity to moldova is not
3:40 am
contracted. no, not any technical solutions. we see that the technical specialists of moldova are actually very good at terminating the stability power systems. they will certainly be seriously violated according to the labels of the expression of the minister. sergey obolonika, the leadership of pridnestrovie is now forced to engage in gas tightrope walking, disconnecting some facilities from supplies and distributing this gas in favor of others. well. there is influenced. uh, the population receives heat; heat receives hot water in full. of course, we have to limit it, because there is not enough resource for the system. enlightenment m-m was the need for savings, so the holidays were extended so that the kids did not sit in the cold. it's definitely not for anyone need. uh, now we are looking at questions or alternative ways of learning. i mean remote. but of course it's the best. this is when the
3:41 am
teacher is the students. this is an opportunity to communicate hmm face to face. this is much more efficient, so we are now looking at the possibility of additional cuts in the industrial sector so that the kids can still go to school. they do not turn off the heating in hospitals, kindergartens and schools for universities, the current volumes of gas are no longer enough. well , you see for yourself what, in principle, is wrong in the case it is hot, the temperature is 12-13°c. our heating is central e in all educational buildings is completely turned off. here the batteries are cold, while the temperature is above zero, lectures are being held in the building of the oldest university of the republic of the pridnestrovian state university, the date of its foundation is october 1 , 1930. the university was created to
3:42 am
train teachers for moldova from the nineties. uh, on the basis of the institute, the pridnestrovian state university was created, which it is now, we have a need to train our personnel. e. the list of specialties, the list of needs of specialists is very strong. that's it, it was decided to train personnel on the territory of the republic of transnistrian university, the largest educational institution in the republic, today there are 9,000 students here, despite the situation , management is in no hurry to switch to distance learning, we have reduced the number. uh, the duration of the couples. instead of 1:20 pairs. now we have an hour pass and have reduced the number. uh, time, uh, change so that the children are still less in the building of the university and faster classes ended. let's look at the situation further. as long as the weather allows you
3:43 am
to study. we are learning, we are trying to stay in full-time as much as possible. uh, the format of work and children. they also insist on continuing their studies in full-time format. judging by the answers of the students , they really have no desire to switch to remote work, which has become boring for 2 years of the pandemic, and it looks like classes in buildings will continue until the cold weather, they studied remotely format, so it was harder now we see each friend. we feel each other, students , teachers communicate with each other, so even if it 's cold, it's still better than at home. yes, we come in warm clothes, we try already, and it's cold outside, his audience is cold. we sit in fours , three couples, we need to sit out, so we warm ourselves with jackets, tea, and coffee
3:44 am
. uh, the amount of electricity that is used to light the cities of other objects. we have reduced the amount of electricity consumed by electric transport by halving the volume of passenger transportation, which means that this has also caused damage to the humanitarian sphere. as for the hmm damage to the economy? transnistria well, it is colossal. the most difficult situation in the industry, which actually arose in the forty-thousand city of rybnitsa, two very large enterprises on the scale of transnistria - a metallurgical and cement plant, both were forced to stop production. now we are in one of the main of the shops of our enterprise is the elektrostal
3:45 am
smelting shop, namely, near the heart of the shop, as we call it our breadwinners of the arc arrow of the chipboard furnace number two. at the moment, the furnace, unfortunately , unfortunately, is worth it for, uh, reasons, uh, with problems with gas supplies to the enterprise. give us transnistria, including the moldovan metallurgical plant, abbreviated mmz. one of the largest taxpayers in transnistria , the enterprise's capacity allows it to produce about a million tons of steel per year to understand the scale in russia produced about 75 million tons of steel in 2021, and the current situation that has developed with the problem of the availability of gas at the enterprise in the republic as a whole, and let's say, let's say so, does not bode well for us. eh, at least. this decrease in production, the decrease in production will lead to a decrease in the calculation of the budget, and the decrease in
3:46 am
the allocation of the budget will lead to the fact that there will be certain difficulties with the payment of wages. e. hmm, state employees, teachers, doctors, well, it's like a whole chain, a whole ball in one place stopped the production of 5 or 15 professions will be felt. this is the future plant staff of 2,500 employees. so far , there have been no layoffs at the enterprise, but now the whole question is how long the downtime will last. that is, no one was fired, and everyone is working, but transferred to the daytime mode, well, the so -called 25th schedule, and everyone is busy with repairs at cleaning services for metallurgy. this is hmm. i have not seen such enterprises where during the downtime it would not be necessary to do nothing, clean, or clean, so all the staff are busy with e, maintenance and repair of equipment.
3:47 am
the company we work here a lot dynasty right, which is already the third fourth generation running. well, for example, my whole family works here. if the plant, well, we do not believe in it, it will never happen. but if there are very bad times, then it would be like my whole family, for example, remains without income. at another enterprise in transnistria, the city of rybnitsa, a cement plant, about the same gloomy picture, production was stopped a couple of weeks ago, at the end of october they received a notification that 10,000 cubic meters of gas were allocated to us for the month of november, this is well in fact, only for the heating of administrative premises, the main concerns of the director of the plant
3:48 am
are related to the loss of customers. the cement market in the region is very competitive and the rybnitsa enterprise will quickly be able to replace plants from moldova, which, apparently , have problems with gas. no. no sales means no financial income with all the ensuing consequences. at the moment. we have e stocks of products left, until the end of the month at the most. after that, we will be forced to restore the shipment. uh lose customer base. here is most likely the niche that will be vacated will be replaced by other businesses by our competitors. plant across the river. it's moldovan. the cement plant has 700 employees, and a small part of them have already been sent on unpaid leave. the rest will be engaged in repairs, which were planned for the winter. how long the enterprise will be able to exist in this mode is not too clear yet. but it is unlikely that the non-working plant will be able to pay salaries to employees for a long time at that
3:49 am
time we will need to tighten our belts to wait out endure. uh, i don't know if we will be able to keep the team in the form in which we have it now , because a lot of money was spent in order to find engineers to educate workers there to train. that's when we uh hmm will not be products. we would be for sale yes, there will be a question of how to pay people the wages of russian gas to moldova, and this is precisely what chisinau explains to the weaning of transnistria, there are quite understandable reasons. the fact is that gas in moldova comes from the territory of ukraine ukraine refuses to use all gas pipelines that are generally required to be used under the contract between gazprom and e, the operator for transport. ukraine on the transit of gas, that is, there are basically two gas pipelines, one passes over the north through
3:50 am
the sudzha gas metering station and one over the south through the safekeeping. here, ukrainians refuse to use the gas pipeline through the save, because it now passes through the territory of the lpr, so the total volumes of pumping through ukraine are in transit. they decreased and gazprom, referring to this, says, that i cannot deliver you the full volume of moldova. uh, the required volumes of gas, because i have reduced the volume of supplies to everyone, who receives gas through ukraine, and virtually the whole of europe northwest receives it, transnistria, a version is being actively discussed, according to which gas was taken from the unrecognized republic. moldova plans to use not even to cover its own deficit, but is going to resell it at exchange prices to foreign markets. well, chisinau is now profitable even somewhere to shrink and export. in general, the volume saved gas, because here are the fourth and first quarters. they will have the cost of gas from gazprom, uh, low relative to the european market. that
3:51 am
is, if in europe during the heating season prices can rise there by several thousand dollars per 1,000 cubic meters, then under a contract with gazprom. it is precisely in the winter months that gas for moldova will cost about $700 per 1,000 cubic meters there, so reselling it , relatively speaking, for $2,000 and, of course, you will earn a lot and the temptation of such chisinau huge in this regard, they can really say, you know, there, uh, bad gazprom, in general, does not supply us with gas, but in fact they can resell part of this gas. in general, explaining in general about their citizens. why they have a shortage may be interruptions in energy supply, and the fault of gazprom of russia, and even if gazprom somehow manages to increase supplies to moldova, according to the head of the foreign ministry of transnistria, ignatiev lived in the unrecognized republic of chisinau anyway will not send more than now. even before the gas crisis
3:52 am
, pridnestrovie was actually cut off from the supply of many russian goods, including vitally important fifth-year student of the faculty of medicine katya shuparskaya, who has a severe chronic illness and it has been very difficult for her to find medicine in the republic in recent months. well , at the moment, the last six months have appeared, probably for the first time in my experience of the disease and problems with the supply of insulin for a month. it seems like the supplies were. i got uh next month went to see an endocrinologist. unfortunately, in our transnistria there are no deliveries now, and because of this we had to. and save your own stocks very much, with the fact that the moldovan authorities have recently actually blocked the supply of russian goods to pridnestrovie because of this, the situation with medicines in the republic is not the easiest. the kansk hospital, where katya shuparskaya is doing her internship, to be honest, yes, there are some
3:53 am
problems. and, of course, it doesn't matter. the leadership of the rsc is trying to compensate for this, but sometimes some drugs are temporarily unavailable to us, of course, doctors are looking for analogues. uh, even in my own department, when we had a shortage, for example, omeprazole, which we will add to patients, they replaced it with an analogue, and these are analogues. uh, as far as i know, but of moldovan origin somewhere ukrainian or belarusian. the list of russian goods prohibited from being transported through the territory of moldova includes, for example, agricultural fertilizers. we are faced with such a problem that, uh, 2021 2022. we worked without fertilizer in the prevailing mind situation and according to the pricing policy and the prohibition and
3:54 am
logistics that it is, today it exists, buying fertilizers from european companies. yes, we, of course, uh, increase our cost. and what is noteworthy is that the bans on the import of russian goods, including food products, are unofficial, that is, trucks are simply not allowed into moldovan territory. and there is no other way to get into pridnestrovie now. naturally , all these restrictions ultimately have a serious impact on prices, of course, pricing policy grew up very much it beats. of course, according to the budget of our people, in particular me, too, that is, to eat. we have not become smaller. why do we deny ourselves something else in warmth. in some kind of air, that is, you need to work more and warm up less. i don't know why young people do this. well, i think that i speak on behalf of all pridnestrovians, well, the majority of pridnestrovians, that we are heading not for europe, but for russia we are russians, therefore, we
3:55 am
only from russia in violation of all agreements very seriously, it will hit the most ordinary people, living in the unrecognized republic but it looks like this is the calculation of the moldovan authorities, apparently , they perfectly understand what they are doing. when you reduce, they say, gas supplies, in this way you cause damage, primarily in transnistria. and we will distribute ourselves here in such a way that chisinau will suffer less, of course, this is blackmail, in general, against russia and attempts to force full-fledged supplies. in general, all volumes of gas, despite the fact that ukraine does not let through. in general, gas in part of gas pipelines, but, despite the fact that not the debt is not paid and no auditor. they are not going to hire and so on. in the meantime, everything that remains is a student or employee of small enterprises from pridnestrovie that have not yet stopped work. it's warming up like never before . hoping for a mild winter.
4:00 am
let's start with the most important thing. how would you comment on the adoption of this resolution? just a robbery of russia formalized at the level of a special session of the un general assembly in fact, for the first time in history, the general assembly of the premier international organization on the planet , the united nations, formalized the basis for reparations.
