and everything will work out. where others do not see anything , entrepreneurs see prospects. and with the support of uralsib products, any business vision can become a reality? uralsib for business prospects where you are this year, somehow in a special way, we are glad for the warm, but in tiraspol university in offices and at all enterprises of the republic, the heating season, which usually starts in early october. it has not started yet, not at all because of the fact that the temperature outside is above zero and the economic

situation. the rest are doing the best they can. tiraspol students go out to warm themselves outside, it is really warmer outside. we go out at recess, warm ourselves, walk, because we sit for an hour. still the body is numb. and so we go out into the street, walked, walked anyway, warmed up 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 cool, very fresh. the population of pridnestrovie is approximately 350 thousand people, of which more than 220 thousand russian citizens, under the existing 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, but from november 1, the moldovan authorities unilaterally drastically reduced this water in the month of november the young reduced our volume to two and three figures. completely unsubstantiated. that is, i am more than sure that there are no calculations was under it. eh, this is a strong-willed decision and i will note. so

this volume is below the needs of the population of social facilities and infrastructure enterprises, the official chisinau explains the selection of gas intended 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 agreement, the volume of russian gas supplied to moldova has indeed decreased, but this is primarily due to a significant decrease in transit through ukraine but there is one more important point about this a little lower, moldova systematically violates the terms of the contract with gazprom by 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, they sent this gas to the reserve. well, it's basically gas. blackmail, first of all, by the russian side, that is, they are blackmailing gazprom in such a way that the russian leadership, that if you continue to reduce the volume of supplies to us or leave it at this, as it were, a half level of supplies, then we will, uh, make it so that more pridnestrovie suffered most of all perfectly, realizing that russia cares. in general, the interests of transnistria are local residents of the population. a bit of background on the gas issue, an agreement between gazprom and the moldovan country was signed last autumn years after lengthy negotiations, the main conditions for concluding the contract were the timely

payment of supplies and the repayment of moldova's debt to gazprom, which is more than $ 700 million 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 between gazprom and the moldovan country, contract for a month on quite market conditions. they have gone completely tied to the spot market. this is a short-term contract market. and already then in october 21. the prices there were very high and they immediately cost about 300 dollars for 1,000 cubic meters. we stepped over almost 1,000 dollars for 1,000 cubic meters, and in this regard. it was a certain shock, which was recognized, 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

under conditions that are quite comfortable for the moldovan country during the heating season, when stock quotes are always high. gas is formed on their basis, but the moldavian country started violating the terms of an agreement that was quite beneficial for itself from the very first month, delaying payment and, in fact, ignoring the issue of debt. moldova started talking about that yes, we will sort of return the debt for the previous contract, but we will conduct an audit. uh, gazprom perceived this audit simply as a kind of 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 house come from, moldova perceives. uh, here, this is a kind of audit, as an opportunity on the one hand. the way is settlements, and on the other hand, then bargain about how much we will return the money to you, that is, they did not initially assume. and-and return fully the entire in general debt. and therefore, when moldova talks about

i don’t know about the fact that we will buy gas there in romania, in ukraine or somewhere else on the european market, we must understand that with the existence of a long- term contract, no one has concluded a new contract with them. obviously, during the negotiations in 2021, uninterrupted gas supplies were also discussed, in which pridnestrovie is also interested from an economic point of view and chisinau. the fact is that one of the largest consumers of gases in pridnestrovie is located here, the moldavian gres station, which provided 70% of moldova's electricity needs. it is clear that they did not take away the gas supposed to generate electricity. for them, and at a very cheap price three times lower than the one they are now. paid for deliveries from romania in informal conversations in pridnestrovie , they say that the moldovan country strongly recommended that

not only the entire industry, but also social facilities be cut off from gas supplies, and that the saved gas be given to the moldovan state district power station, while increasing supplies or turning off its own enterprises from gases in favor of the state district power station chisinau refused. moldavskaya gres with by a wide margin, 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 of electricity and supplied not only the entire soviet region , which is located close, but also the electricity went to romania and to bulgaria, that is, the countries. actually such an idea was laid down in this power and for the shortage of gas. now

only one power unit out of 12 is working for aggression. yes, and that one is not at full capacity only for the domestic market. export of energy to moldova stopped work in the mode of one power unit. this is a maximum of 200. from its capacity, about 100 megawatts will be fuel. we will carry 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 he insufficient e, for e full-fledged operation of the station immediately for the entire large region that it provides. uh, we have remaining coal reserves. 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 it continues, 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 electricity from romania , the head of the foreign ministry of this country, bogdan otrescu, 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 the operation of the moldavian state district power plant , is very interconnected between the work of the energy system and moldova, and it’s easy to make decisions that we won’t supply you with gas there, we’ll get electricity from somewhere else. 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 switchgears, the romanian electricity to moldova no contracts. no, not any technical solutions. we see that moldovan technical specialists are actually very tense in this regard, because, well, what if we have no reason to participate in the transport work? of course, the moldovan state district power plant has no right to provide

transportation services through its switchgears , and it is very strange that that so far this has not been stopped, but colleagues, probably, do not really understand that when the power system is stopped, the stability of the energy system. they will definitely have is seriously violated by the labels in the words of minister sergei obolonik, the leadership of pridnestrovie is now forced to engage in gas tightrope walking, disconnecting some objects from supplies and distributing this gas in favor of others. well , of course it did. uh, the population gets heat heat gets full hot water, of ​​course we have to limit, because there is not enough resource for the enlightenment system. hmm, there was a need to save money, so the holidays were extended so that the kids did not sit in the cold. it's already no one really needs it. uh, now we are considering the question of either alternative ways of learning. i mean remote. but of course it's the best. this is

when the teacher and the student has the opportunity to communicate hmm face to face. it's much more efficient, therefore. 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 that, in principle, in the building is not so hot, the temperature is 12-13 °. heating is central e in all educational buildings is completely turned off. here the batteries are cold, while the temperature is above zero, the lecture is going on 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

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 training their staff. e. the list of specialties, the list of needs, specialists, has greatly increased and a decision was made. after all, 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, it's time for a change so that the children are still smaller were in the university building and completed classes faster. let's look at the situation further. as long as the weather allows you to study.

we are learning, we are trying to stay in the full-time format of work and children as much as possible. 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 the university buildings will go right up. we studied remotely, so it was harder now we see each other. 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 are trying already, and it's cold outside, and it's cold in the audience. we sit four times three couples , we need to sit out, so we warm ourselves with jackets, tea, coffee , the selection by the moldovan side of the gas intended for transnistria has hit absolutely all

spheres of life, we have reduced the unrecognized republic. uh, the amount of electricity that used to illuminate cities and 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. transnistria what about? hmm damage to the economy of 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 workshops of our enterprise. this is the elektrostal

smelting shop, namely, near the heart of the shop, as we call it our breadwinners of the arc or melting furnace number two eaf. at the moment, the furnace, unfortunately, unfortunately, is worth it for, uh, reasons, uh, with problems with gas supplies to the daina enterprise in transnistria, including the moldovan metallurgical plant, abbreviated mmz. one of the largest taxpayers. pridnestrovie's capacity of the enterprise allows to produce about a million tons of steel per year for understanding the scale in russia in 2021 produced about 75 million tons of steel, and the current situation, which has developed as a problem of the availability of gas at the enterprise in the republic as a whole, and let's say, hmm , does not bode well for us. eh, at least. this decrease in production, the decrease in production will lead to a decrease in budget deductions, and the decrease in

deductions to the budget will lead to the fact that there will be certain difficulties with the payment of wages. e. state employees, teachers, doctors, well, it's like a whole chain, a whole ball in one place was 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. this is no one fired, and everything works, but transferred to the daytime mode, well, the so -called 25th schedule, and everyone is busy with repairs on cleaning for the maintenance of metallurgy - i have not seen such enterprises where nothing would be needed during the downtime do not clean do not clean, so all the staff is busy with e, maintenance and repair of equipment. family

the enterprise we have here employs a lot of dynasties directly, who are already the third fourth generation working. well, for example, my whole family works here. if the plant, uh, well, we don't 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 with approximately the same gloomy picture, production was stopped a couple of weeks ago in november, they received a notification that for the month of november we 10,000 cubic meters of gas were allocated, this is well . in fact, only for the heating of administrative premises, the main concerns of the director of the plant

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 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. so, most likely, the niche that will be vacated will be replaced by other enterprises 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 time.

time we will need to tighten our belts to wait patiently. 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 effort 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 wages. there are quite understandable reasons for the decline in russian gas supplies to moldova, and this is precisely what chisinau explains to the seizure of transnistria. the fact is that gast in moldova it comes from the territory of ukraine ukraine refuses to use all gas pipelines that are generally required to use under the contract between gazprom and e, the operator for the transport system of ukraine, he transits gas. that is, there are basically two gas pipelines, one passes over

the northern one through the gas-mining station sudzha and one over the southern one through the treasury. the 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 in transit. they have decreased and gazprom, referring to this, says that i cannot deliver moldova in full to you. uh, the required volumes of gas, because i reduced the volume of supplies to everyone, who receives gas through ukraine, and virtually all of europe northwest receives it, pridnestrovie is actively discussing the version, according to which moldova plans to use the gas taken from the unrecognized republic, not even to cover of 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, saved gas volumes, 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

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 for 1,000 cubic meters, so reselling it relatively speaking, for 2,000 dollars. of course, you will earn a lot, and the temptation of such a chisinau is 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 to their citizens. why do they have a shortage, maybe there are interruptions in energy supply, and the fault of gazprom is the fault of russia , and even if gazprom somehow manages to increase supplies to moldova, according to the head of the foreign ministry pridnestrovie vitaly ignatiev will not send more to the unrecognized republic of chisinau than now. even before the gas crisis

, 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 illness and problems with supply of insulin for a month. it seems like the supplies were. i received, and the next month i came to the endocrinologist for a tape. unfortunately, in our transnistria. there are no deliveries now and because of this we had to. and to save a lot of their own stocks with the fact that the moldovan authorities have recently actually blocked the supply of russian goods, transnistria, because of this, the situation with medicines in the republic is not the easiest. kansk hospital, where katya shubarskaya is doing her practice, to be honest, yes, there are some, but

problems. and, of course, it doesn't matter. the tail of the rch is trying to compensate for this, but sometimes some medicines 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. there are russian goods prohibited for transportation through the territory of moldova, for example, agricultural fertilizers. here situation. we are faced with such a problem that in e 21 2022. we worked without fertilizers in view of the current situation and the pricing policy and the

prohibition and logistics that it currently exists, er, purchasing 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 limitations in the end. they have a serious impact on prices, of course, the new policy has grown a lot; it hits, of course, 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 rest, 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 am speaking 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

only from russia, the withdrawal of gas destined for transnistria 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 gas supplies to him, you thus inflict damage, primarily on transnistria. and we will distribute ourselves here in such a way that chisinau will suffer less, of course, this is blackmail, in general, against uh russia and attempts to force us to supply fully. in general, all volumes of gas, despite the fact that ukraine does not let through. in general, gas is part of the gas pipelines, but, despite the fact that, but they do not pay the debt and no auditor. they are not going to hire and so on. in the meantime, all that remains is a student or employee of small enterprises, pridnestrovie, who have not yet stopped work, is to warm up and, more than ever , hope for a mild winter.

to all evenings in moscow, russia 24 continues to talk about the main topics on sunday, by this minute the fire in the city center on komsomolskaya square has succeeded localize. the fire area was 2,500 m². what was told in the ministry of emergency situations in the area of ​​​​three stations , a class storage building caught fire, the fire was assigned the third degree of complexity our correspondent natalya solovyova is working on the spot
