‘Blocked on both sides’: Transnistria residents fear for future • FRANCE 24 English

Separatist authorities in Transnistria, a breakaway pro-Russian region officially part of Moldova, recently asked Russia and the international community for economic protection following what they denounced as economic and social pressures imposed by Moldova. With the war in Ukraine also adding to ratcheting up tensions, some in Transnistria fear for the future of the region.

Transnistria has every right to determine their own future regardless if it’s convenient for the west or not

The most typical move of the Russian "Empire" was and still is to leave enough people wherever they go so they form an enclave. Their cousins, the Serbians did the same to Bosnia. It's a disgusting effective strategy.

Transnistrians rejoin Moldova and soon be part of the EU and later NATO. Your domestic oligarch cannot compete to the free world.

You meant putin ignored them like armenia?

Maybe they should hv own country free of putin or moldova😅

France will support Moldova. That's very good. Our country should also limit all imported wine to Moldovan wine. Moldova is the birthplace of wine.

Transnistria has a right to defend itself.

Stalin did a lot crazy Things. Letting Transistria being a part of Moldovia was not one of them . I am surprised that tghis is an issue at all. Happy March 8th ! I can recommend reading the history of Moldova . Stalin tried to force them to have their on language, not Romanian . His advisors was not well rewarded by him . Our gratitude to Stefan the great who helped out in older days against the hordes.

I wonder if Russia will reconnect with this region

[azhanali]

Wait until Putin conquer Ukraine. Then he will deal with Moldova.

[landslordmukhabela]

I think they should join Moldova... let all pro Russian citizens join the West... its a a win-win scenario.

[tilapiadave]

I feel sorry for them, , they require protection so I think France could put 50, 000 troops there, , OOPS I mean peace keeping forces :)

[steveagola]

Kosovo and transnistria should be dissolved
