Solution to the #Transnistria gas crisis comes out to be that… #Russia will buy gas from EU market which will be then supplied via #Moldova and Transnistria will even pay for it.
So yeah, no nuclear war, no Russian landing in Romania or Odesa, none of the terrible scenarios that some people predicted as result of #Ukraine terminating gas transfer for its invader. No big words, Moscow will simply buy gas in EU for money and supply it to its military base in illegally occupied part of Moldova.

The original plan was probably painting Ukraine and the EU as the ones freezing people to death, but Russia has failed to spin it the right way, both EU and Ukraine demonstrated the willingness to cooperate and at this point it started being perceived as it was Russia willing to sacrifice people for short-term political gains (which it is). With tables turned insisting meant bad PR and backing out made more sense 🤷
