COOPERATION ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA WITH REGIONAL ACTORS REGARDING ENSURING ENERGY SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The Republic of Moldova has no energy resources of its own and is completely dependent on imports of fossil fuels and electricity. A consequence of the war is the lack of limited access to the markets of the Russian Federation, especially for Moldovan farmers, which affected exports to eastern markets, access to them being difficult or even blocked by the war. This article aims to provide the energy security situation of the Republic of Moldova before the beginning and during the war in Ukraine. The author tries to present the efforts of our country to face the new regional challenges and draw some perspectives on providing the necessary resources without significantly affecting the well-being of the citizens of the country.
