Moldova summons Russian ambassador - Liepājas Metalurgs fans offer safer water
While Moldova battles an oil spill in the Dniester, Liepāja residents remember that their water has always been a bit special.
Moldova is thoroughly pissed off at Russia over an oil product spill in the Dniester River, which supplies water to 80% of the country's population. Russia's strike on a Ukrainian hydroelectric plant caused an environmental disaster and disrupted water supply. But as local water management specialist Jānis says: "At least now they have an excuse not to shower."
Moldova's Foreign Ministry "strongly condemns" the attack, which sounds about as intimidating as a Liepājas Metalurgs fan song before a match against Rīgas Dinamo. In the second-largest city of Bălți, water supply has been completely cut off, meaning Moldovans now live like true Liepāja residents - with constant worries about utilities.
What's more - an active drone with explosives was found on Moldovan territory, forcing residents to evacuate. As a local expert comments: "At least they don't have to worry about whether the drone is from Riga or somewhere else." Liepājas Metalurgs fans have already offered to send aid - their tap water, which after years of training with various flavors and colors would be a real luxury for any Moldovan.
While Moldova summons ambassadors and counts damages, Liepāja continues its usual rhythm of life - with water that's sometimes yellow, but at least doesn't taste like oil. Yet.
