Russia 's state-owned energy giant Gazprom says it will halt gas supplies to Moldova starting on Jan. 1 , citing alleged unpaid debt by the east European country.

The cessation of gas will stop supplies to the Kuciurgan power plant, the country’s largest, which is situated in the separatist pro-Russian Transnistria region.

Moldova reacted by accusing Moscow of weaponizing energy supplies.

Gazprom said it reserved the right to take further action, including terminating its contract with Moldovagaz , Moldova 's main gas operator.
