Another interesting detail: EGRUL, Russia's Unified State Registry of Legal Entities, wiped information showing Shor's 51% stake in A7. A common practice for entities involved in defense production, but a new development for Shor himself.
In September 2024, EGRUL showed the below. Now, gone.

Some really remarkable photos of Tiraspol mid-energy crisis, published by Zona de Securitate.
3rd: Tiraspol’s Elektromash plant, which allegedly continues to run.
4th: Sheriff HQ is dark. Not that anyone was working in the building anyways.

Really interesting Moldova note from today’s OFAC designations — Ilan Shor was purportedly involved in a cross-border sanctions evasion scheme between a Kyrgyz bank and Promsvyazbank.
First time I’ve seen Shor directly cited as a sanctions evasion risk factor.

Day 1 of Transnistria’s gas freeze. Central heating and hot water have been completely shut off.
TSV (news outlet affiliated with Sheriff) is promoting a hotline largely dedicated to where citizens can find firewood. The so-called MOD will begin arranging transport of firewood to cities tomorrow.

Concerning SVR press release regarding Moldova’s gas crisis, claiming Sandu wants a military seizure of MGRES.
Moscow will probably end up covering supply using Trans-Balkan pipeline — but Russia has always used gas negotiations to pressure Chisinau into different economic/political concessions.

Highly interesting the extent to which young voters propelled Georgescu.
The fact that PSD outspent everyone by multitudes and was overwhelmingly rejected by young voters isn’t *just* a propaganda issue. Young voters everywhere are highly disillusioned — time to grapple with that.

Moldovan diaspora results in Romania’s election yesterday — no real surprises.
That said, 3k votes for Simion from Moldova — I’d love to know what goes through the head of a Simion/Sandu voter….

One of Kennedy’s best speeches was one he never gave — the one he would have given on this day 61 years ago, had he lived a few hours more.
“We in this country, in this generation, are – by destiny rather than choice – the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.“

🚨 Transnistrian media reports of a kamikaze drone strike in Tiraspol this afternoon.
No further details on the attack so far. Let’s watch over the next few hours — but likely another provocation staged to create panic.
