Pro-Moscow separatist officials in Moldova's breakaway Transnistria region have appealed to Russia for "protection."

Officials are set to ask Russia’s Federation Council and the State Duma “to implement measures to protect Transnistria in the face of increased pressure from Moldova,” local media reported the resolution as saying.

The cogress said the Moldovan government had unleashed “economic war” on the region, blocking crucial imports and seeking to turn it into a “ghetto”.

    Because that would be an excellent way to get a bunch of NATO countries to stop fucking around and actually directly intervene both there and in Ukraine.

    As I see it, using Transnistria as a western “front” by the Z army to encircle Kiev, will definitely risk more border incidents. This is without even considering Moldova’s EU candidate status, and Moldova’s ambiguous relationship with that " breakaway " region.
