Moldova’s pro-European leaders are asking parliament to declare a state of emergency covering energy and water supplies after dangerously low levels were recorded in the Dniester River, which Moldova shares with Ukraine. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan said the government would submit the request on Tuesday, arguing that emergency powers would allow it to respond before shortages become a crisis. Moldova obtains much of its gas, oil and electricity from abroad. President Maia Sandu, who is leading a drive for Moldova to join the European Union by 2030, said renewable energy output has grown but the country still lacks enough capacity to meet consumption during peak hours. The Dniester’s flows were reduced last month to support irrigation in Moldova, while a Russian attack on a hydropower plant last March caused an oil spill and further polluted Moldovan water systems.
