Russia’s colony of Transnistria declares state of emergency due to the imminent loss of russian gas.
After losing Syria, the last thing Putin’s already flailing image needs is the loss of yet another colony, but it seems that may be exactly what’s about to happen.
Russia’s colony of Transnistria is a tiny strip of land between Ukraine and Moldova, a massive Russian military base since 1993 with which Moscow can further destabilize Europe. Since 15 years Putin has provided them with gratis gas.
With a population of around 450,000 people, the Transnistrian economy runs on russian gas transferred through Ukraine. But at the end of the year the transfer contracts ends and won't be renewed. So Zelensky now holds this colony, its massive weapons surpluses and Putin’s PR image in the palm of his hand.
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moldova ceased purchasing Russian gas, opting instead for European market alternatives. However, Gazprom has continued supplying gas to Transnistria, which houses the Kuchurgan power station which was alsoa key electricity source for Moldova.
Yesterday, Vadim Krasnoselsky, leader of this internationally unrecognized Transnistrian region, signed a decree declaring a 30-day economic state of emergency due to anticipated disruptions in russian gas supplies. This measure mandates all businesses to conserve gas and other energy resources, prohibits the export of energy resources, and imposes restrictions on certain financial and commercial activities, including the movement of products and financial resources.
Recent negotiations between Moldova’s former Minister of Energy, Victor Parlicov, and russian officials have not yielded a consensus on gas delivery routes or the settlement of Moldovagaz’s outstanding debts. Parlicov emphasized the serious risk of a gas-related crisis in Transnistria, while Transnistrian authorities have tried to blame the situation to official Chișinău.
Analysts expect that by severing the connection between Moscow and the colony, we will see negotiations begin as to the region’s alliances and resolution regarding what are considered to be substantial warehoused Russian military surpluses.

Hey, I just assume there will be people with other viewpoints
While Putin boasts about Russia’s military power and sovereignty, North Korean “Koksan” self-propelled guns are being sent to the front lines.

Drones+missiles: The destruction of the Novoshakhtyn Oil Refinery was a joint operation of the SBU and the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Tonight, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Navy, carried out a combined attack on the Novoshakhtynsky oil products plant in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation.
According to sources, the SBU drones first overwhelmed the Russian air defense system protecting the plant. This created a “window of opportunity” for the operation of Ukrainian jet missiles, which the SBU and the Navy jointly worked out in the next stage.
As a result of the attack on the refinery, a large-scale fire broke out. The video shows many sources of ignition over a large area.
The ELOU-AVT-2.5 installation, which is designed to produce liquefied hydrocarbon gases, was also hit. Preliminary information confirms that the joint operation of the SBU and the Navy caused significant damage to the production facilities of the enterprise.
"Today's special operation was carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles of Ukrainian production. This once again proves the effectiveness and power of Ukrainian weapons. Including its ability to destroy enemy logistics that are working for the war in Ukraine," an informed source in the SBU reported.

I must confess that I am laying in bed using my cell phone. I finally got the last thing I needed to upgrade a cheap computer I bought. It came with a 480 gig solid state drive and 16 gigs of RAM. No Data drive. So I boosted it to 32 gigs of RAM and added a 2 TB data drive. It works fine. Now I need to transfer about 250 gigs of pictures and video and add a few programs. An i7 for under $300. But right now staying in bed because the room was so cold at 6:30 I got a leg cramp. But it will be 65 degrees soon
