Chisinau, Dec. 25 /MOLDPRES/- "While our countries are celebrating Christmas, Kremlin chooses destruction, targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and violating Moldova's airspace with a missile. Moldova condemns these acts and stands in full solidarity with Ukraine," according to Moldova's President Maia Sandu.

This Christmas morning, Russia again attacked the Ukrainian energy system using a whole arsenal of missiles and drones. So far, no disruptions have been reported in Moldova's power system, which is connected to Ukraine's.

According to reports, the Border Police informs that one of the missiles launched by Russia was spotted by a patrol on Iampol-Cosăuți direction.

Moldelectrica company informs the public that the electricity transmission system is operating in a stable regime. Disconnection caused by the attack on Ukraine have not been recorded. "In order to support the maintenance of operational stability and network efficiency, we are asking consumers to optimize the use of electricity during peak hours: 09:00 - 11:00; 17:00 - 19:00. Recommendations for rational consumption: Avoid simultaneous use of energy-intensive household appliances. Move high consumption activities to off-peak hours. Prioritize the use of energy efficient devices. The adoption of these measures contributes directly to reducing pressure on the grid and strengthening national energy security," Moldelectrica said.
