It’s a Slither of land that borders Ukraine where over a thousand Russian soldiers are believed to be stationed and When transnistria deao leaders ask for protection from Moscow alarm Bells quickly start ringing among Western Nations transnistria’s Rebel officials say the movan government is Raging a quote economic war against the region
And Russia has promised to consider their requests saying their residents protection is one of their priorities news of the separatists appeal has brought fear to some in the movan capital I’m afraid that the war could break out here too and our military is weak we don’t have any
Resources this worries me because the transnistrian region has often been more pro-russian than the rest of mova at the moment I don’t see anything that could easily solve the current tensions the Breakaway region has been controlled by pro-russian forces since the collapse of the Soviet Union after separatists fought a war with moldova’s
Pro-western government Russia provides free gas to the region but to this day it officially remains part of mdova NATO is accusing Moscow of using its influence to interfere in movan politics the United States have thrown their weights behind president Maya sandu’s government given Russia’s increasingly aggressive and destabilizing role in Europe we are
Watching ing Russia’s actions in transnistria and the broader situation there very closely uh the United States firmly supports moldova’s sovereignty and territorial Integrity within its internationally recognized borders mova has rejected transnistria’s statements labeling them as propaganda back in 2022 a series of explosions rocked the small territory military analysts believe they

The United States telling Russia not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Republic of Moldova is a joke.
Russia smells weakness in the west ..if any one know 20 century his the 1920to 1930 America was big on insulation Germany and Japan feel free to do what they want is history repeating it self ? End of ww1 most royal family fell ..end of ww2 empires fell at the end of this with its population getting smaller by the day could it be the fall of the western world?
The western agencies are applying the same scenario again that was used in Ukraine and everywhere else where the americans intervened for the last 70 years. In order to provoke Russia to react, the west needs to give Russia a reason to react. The reason they use here are Russian minoroties. The west instructed Moldova to mobilize troops (which also happened in Ukraine months before the invasion started but was not reported in western media) to attack Transnistria. The same strategy was used by Georgia when Georgia started a war in Abkhazia. Knowing how Russia will respond should not come as a surprise, that makes them predictable, and the west is using this to open a new front against Russia. Western media did not report about the Moldovan mobilisation, they will start reporten when Russia actually attacks, so that Russia can be framed as the agressor. Always the same scenario.
This is not complicated. Who runs Europe? Putin? Does Putin run Europe from Moscow? His Putin in charge of Europe? With the Nuclear Threat in his pocket – always reaching for the nuclear card in his pocket. Is that what decides the future of Europe? Or does the EU and NATO run Europe from Brussels?
Moldova do not be worried, the West stand firmly behind you!
Russia must help marginalized people, they fighting apartheid 😊
Why can't the people who live there choose what they want to belong to.. vote for example.
Give Transnistrians permission to work in the EU, there will be empty space
So, Kosovo has the right to self-determination but the Russian speaking regions don't? You cannot take different positions on the same issue! Either both have the right or none does, it is that simple!
Russia needs regime change.
They should be freed.
Stand strong Moldova 🇲🇩 💪
Danger for everyone that Russian occupation 🎉🎉
Russia is a destabilising force, unlike the US…. unless you talk about Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine…
those poor moldovans. soon they will look like Ukraine. Ouch.
Moldova already knows why a small and weak country has to interfere in the politics of Russia and Ukraine, even America, France and England are not necessarily able to overcome Russia.Moldova should think more about its people than thinking about Russian and Ukrainian politics even though it is clear that Romania, Kazakhstan, Hungary and others do not care at all about Russian and Ukrainian politics.
United states is the enemy of peace
Not to worry in about a month the south of Ukraine should be returned to Russia so Transnistria should be safe
I heard they are orthodox communist old guards colony
This is how war starts in 2021 look where we’re heading
Why Transitria want to be another Kosovo
Hoping for Transnistria to be integrated into the Russian Federation soon….
Do not believe what US believes for other countries, they will chicken out later.
Kosovo is Serbia, Transdniestria is Russia!
For Putin, it must be clear that former soviet republics belong to Russia.
God bless Russia
Moldova is Romania.
Why can Kosovo be independent but not Transnistria?
Did you. Know. This country constatution is to be nutral,
Moldova (sadly)cant join nato
Moldova is north-east from Romania.
Transnistria is north-east from Moldova.
That's Karma and Moldova should deal with it on their own.
The Sudetenland asks for assistance from the Fuhrer.
Missinformation. Won’t help, Dont want to be anywhere else. THEY ARE RUSSIANS
This is b.s. Get Russia out of there
Armenia asked help from Moscow and ended with a broken promis! So wil happen to Transnistrian amn Gagauzia!
