Officials in Moldova’s Russia-backed breakaway region of Transnistria appealed to Moscow for protection Wednesday, as tensions escalate with the pro-Western government.
...
On Wednesday, members of the Transnistrian congress used a rare meeting in the regional capital, Tiraspol, to ask the Russian Duma to “implement measures for defending Transnistria amid increasing pressure from Moldova, given the fact that more than 220,000 Russian citizens reside in Transnistria."
A short war in the early 1990s led pro-Russian forces in Transnistria to declare a breakaway state. To this day, Russia stations about 1,500 troops in the region as so-called peacekeepers, who guard huge Soviet-era weapons and ammunition stockpiles.

“...more than 220,000 Russian citizens reside in Transnistria.”
They need to be rounded up and deported back to Ruzzia as an existential threat to Moldovan national and territorial security. By force if necessary.
Need someone to go out on the street with video camera, and ask Americans - “where is Moldova?”
The replies would be hilarious.
You’re free to get your candy ass of your couch and go do so.
Another Russian proxy “special military” adventure.
Maybe they’ve seen Red 2…
The non whites.
Criminal gangs, as one might expect, run the sliver of a country - the only thing going for it are the huge Soviet-era ammo dumps, close to thr border with Ukraine.
They have been a “breakaway” state for decades. They were part of Moldova originally.
How unsurprising that a neocon globalists would advocate for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
GFY
There are several on FR that would support it.
It’s the country where the opening sequences of “Borat” were filmed. Just about says it all.
“...more than 220,000 Russian citizens reside in Transnistria.”
If they’re citizens of Russia, then they’re not citizens of Moldova, and should have no say in Moldovan government whatsoever.
Are you an advocate for illegal aliens voting in American elections? Hmmm, well, maybe so.....
And what the actual x are Moscow’s troops doing there? That used to be called invasion.
By that token we could land a division of Marines in Venezuela.
There’s not much the Russian Federation can easily do to help them.
Therefore, they should try to simmer down and hope for the best.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. would approve of what the Russian residents are doing there, for sure. :-O
The British probably still think those 13 colonies are breakaway regions.
How many even know that Moldova was a part of Romania before WW2 and was called Bessarabia?
How did FR become a hangout of vax fanatics (vunts) and fascist?
