Odessa offensive and NATO war: What is known about the "accession" of Transnistria to the Russian Federation

On February 19, a statement appeared on the website of the President of the Transnistrian Moldavian Republic (PMR) of Vadim Krasnoselsky, which was stated that he was going to initiate the convening of the "Congress of Deputies of all levels of PMR". This decision, according to him, is related to the alleged pressure from the Moldova, which violates the rights.

The socio-economic situation of the locals continues to deteriorate, which was another reason for holding the first meeting at this level for a long time. "In case of support of the presidential initiative, the deputy corps should also determine the date and place of the congress, the agenda and the norm of representation for local councils," the message said.

On February 22, the Transnistrian oppositionist Gennady Chorba wrote on his page on the social network Facebook that he could pass "Congress of MPs of all levels" on February 28. At the meeting, a request may be sounded on behalf of the residents of the region that they want to join the Russian Federation. In general, there were several such meetings in the history of the PMR, Gennady Chorba writes, and each of them was made key decisions.

One of them, which was many years ago, was completely approved by the "independence" of the region. "Most likely, based on the analysis of the situation, the team of Moscow passed this congress, which should be voiced, on behalf of citizens living on the left bank to Russia, to accept Transnistria in the Russian Federation, and on February 29 Putin It will announce it in their address, and the Federal Assembly will decide to satisfy the request that has been received.

The organizers will be sent to the 2006 referendum, "Gennady Crub continues. Separately, the opposition added that in the territory of the unrecognized republic, Russia regularly arranged various provocations and rallies. Everything to try to get away from Chisinau. The local population was distributed documents, and then the Russian authorities talk about the protection of "their own".

Gennady Chorba is convinced that if the region really begs for Russia, then the consequences will be catastrophic, and the Kremlin will be angry for larger provocations. The possible congress of deputies of Moldova President May Sandu has not commented, but on January 15, she claimed that Russia would try to destabilize the situation in Moldova in the spring.

Chisinau is constantly working to ensure that the Kremlin's influence throughout the country is minimal, but provocations continue to exist. "We are aware of these risks and take all actions to prevent these destabilization. We talk to them and inform citizens about these risks, as we did it last year when Russia's intention was the overthrow of the government. We know that Russia will restore our actions this spring, To try to destabilize the situation, "said May Sandu.

The Moldova Government Reintegration Office on its Facebook page has left a response to possible future events in an unrecognized region. The Reintegration Policy Office is following the situation and is in constant contact with the OSCE mission and other international partners. "There is no reason to believe that the situation in the region may deteriorate. Tiraspol is aware of the consequences that it has in the case of unimaginable steps," the message reads.

On February 19, the Ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on special orders, Pow Rogov, met with Viceremier-Minister of Moldova on Reintegration Oleg Serebryany and the leader of the unrecognized Transnistria Vadim Krasnoselsky. The diplomat said that the Ukrainian side is a mediator in the process of resolving the conflict between Moldova and Transnistria, so the search for understanding that could lead to the negotiation process continues.

"Ukraine is exclusively for the peaceful settlement of the Transnistrian issue with the preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within the framework of its internationally recognized borders. At the same time, Kyiv will respond decisively to any provocations aimed at involving the Transnistrian region in the war against Ukraine. The situation in Moldova is generally, "the Foreign Ministry was reported.

Ukraine also insists that the troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation be removed from the territory of Transnistria, and ammunition in the village of Kobasna be disposed of because security is threatened. The Major of the Armed Forces and the deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade, Maxim Zhorin, in his Telegram-channel, also wrote that the Russian Federation can annex the region of Transnistria, because there have long been standing Russian troops.

The enemy is profitable for constant escalation, because according to the Kremlin is the best method of keeping the population "in tone". It also helps to prepare for a great war with NATO. "At the same time, it is necessary to keep in mind that in Transnistria there are Russian troops for a long time-they are and so de facto part of Russia. It is difficult to understand why the West still gives the opportunity to exist in this formation. Because Maxim Georin.

At the same time, the spokesman of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR MOU) Andriy Yusov in a comment to the Ukrainian Pravda, did not confirm possible plans for the accession of Transnistria to the Russian Federation. He says that at the next meeting they are clearly not going to discuss it.

"According to our data, the information that on February 28, the" authorities "of Transnistria will allegedly ask the Russian Federation to attach them to its warehouse," Andriy Yusov said. Another anonymous source of journalists noted that the information distributed by the network is only part of the internal political Moldovan process.

By the way concerning the threat to Ukraine, but the military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko stated that if there is an offensive on Odesa region, then Transnistria would end.
