Located between Ukraine and the EU member Romania, Moldova has received increased international media coverage since Russia's full-scale war invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. In addition to coverage of pro-EU and pro-Russia parties battling for parliamentary control, there has been increased international reporting on the internationally unrecognized Kremlin-aligned Republic of Transnistria in eastern Moldova.
Meaning "land beyond the Dniester," the name Transnistria refers to the area along the eastern lower reaches of the Dniester River. At the end of the 18th century, the region it was annexed by the Russian Empire. During the Soviet era, Transnistria was initially part of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Josef Stalin created the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic after annexing Bessarabia in 1940 as a result of his nonaggression pact with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Russians promised to withdraw their troops from Moldova in 1994, in 1999 and in 2002. Now they are talking about sending an additional 10,000 troops to Moldova.
The Brits are busy trying to quell the white natives now. My how times have changed.

GDP per capita, ppp basis, in Romania is more than twice that in Moldova.

It is difficult to get figures for Transnistria, but it looks as though GDP per capita there is about one-third what it is in Moldova.

If so, this would mean that Transnistria is a low income country by the standards of the World Bank. We Americans would consider it to be desperately poor.
In contrast, Romania is progressing nicely into a high income country, like Poland and the other eastern European countries that had been part of the Warsaw Pact; and, Moldova is something in between.
What is truly pathetic is that Russia has put itself in such a position.
Before 2014 invasion was Transnistria a topic anywhere except perhaps locally, and another example of broken promises of the Soviet Union and Russia.
From what I can see it is nothing but a drain on Russia, a welfare state for pitin.
Let him send 10000 troops, less in Ukraine😎
How would they get them there?
How would they supply them?
The country is landlocked, and not by Russia’s friends.
Transnistria? Ancient homeland of all trans people? Can we send them back?
It is to laugh.
I’m sure your Europeeins are trying their best to rig the “elections”...
Love the way you Bidenistas and Zelyanistas are all in favor of rigged “elections”...
