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.
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.
Transnistria? Ancient homeland of all trans people? Can we send them back?
Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $4k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.
