Eugenia Gusilov spoke on TVR Moldova on March 24 about the three energy crises facing the Republic of Moldova. Today, Moldova exemplifies a multi-crisis scenario, encompassing an electricity supply crisis, a fuel market crisis, and an environmental crisis caused by an oil spill on the Dniester River following Russian attacks on March 7 on the Dnestrovsk hydropower plant in Ukraine.

In March alone, Moldova faced a 60-day state of alert on the fuel market, a 15-day state of environmental alert, and a nationwide 60-day state of emergency in the energy sector. The Republic of Moldova can always count on Romania's support, a partnership tested numerous times in recent years. However, Romania cannot perform miracles.

Moldova should have long ago adopted the European practice of maintaining emergency stocks, if not for 90 days as required in the European Union, at least for 30 or 45 days. Instead, the crisis caught Moldova with fuel reserves lasting only 8 to 10 days. On the other hand, such vulnerabilities are not entirely unique, as even Australia, an International Energy Agency member, maintained stocks for only 30 days despite the 90-day obligation.
