Moldova's parliament has approved a 60-day energy state of emergency due to disruptions stemming from Russian attacks in Ukraine that have incapacitated a key power line.
The pro-European government introduced the measure, which successfully passed with 72 affirmative votes in the 101-member legislature, despite opposition from Socialists and Communists.
The critical Issacea-Vulcanesti power line, sourcing energy from Romania, covers a 40 km stretch through Ukrainian territory, thereby affecting Moldova's energy supply.
