How exactly does an electric bill subsidy wean off a country of Russian Energy?

I would have expected honestly something better, like investments in new energy infrastructure

What it really is for is that people won't vote vor a putler candidate out of annoyance that their bills are rising.

It's still a Band-Aid instead of a long term solution.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do the band-aid, but you should start working and funding the long term solution now

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

I agree!

[melchior@feddit.org]

That is working on a long term solution for another problem, namely Transnistria. They currently have no heating and daily blackouts with huge parts of the industry being shut down. As soon as Moldova does a lot better, that is a massive step towards Transnistria giving up its claimed independence.

But Transnistria has a Russian Puppet Government. I doubt they give up their "independence" voluntarily
