Transnistria reported two explosions on the Ukrainian side of the border on March 4, after the Russia-backed separatists in Tiraspol issued a statement reasserting the tiny republic’s independence. The explosions damaged the railway bridge across the Kuchurgan River, putting it out of operation.
Earlier on March 4, the foreign ministry of Transnistria accused Chisinau of ignoring the negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement of the still unresolved Transnistria conflict with its decision to apply for European Union membership, the ministry said in a statement, that also called once again for its international recognition.
The call from the separatist region — similar to those from the self-declared republics in Ukraine’s Donbas region before Russia’s invasion — encouraged speculation about the territory being used as a future staging point in Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
The Moldovan authorities have expressed less concern, though. While condemning the invasion of Ukraine they have taken a more cautious tone on Transnistria and refused to join sanctions.
Interior Minister Ana Revenco expressed no concern, stating that her government’s priority now is addressing the large inflow of refugees from Ukraine.
“Transnistria keeps declaring its independence. Nothing new,” she said.

that soviet toilet reminds me of some gas station restrooms here in the USA
Watch Romania here.
Moldova is literally a historic province of theirs going back centuries literally and millennia figuratively.
This could be horrible for Europe.
They look like Clevelanders.
I am imagining a scene in a pub…

Moldova is nearly landlocked by Ukraine and Romania, and is walking distance from Odessa, very difficult to avoid unintended consequences there.
“Russia doing what Russians only know how to do: DESTROY”
Not a commie lover as you might proclaim, but confused since this one is on Ukraine. I am sure there might be a jump in logic to blame Russia, but Ukraine blew this up.
