The breakaway Moldovan region of Transnistria has formally requested Russia for 'protection' amid an ongoing economic blockade by Moldova, as reported by AFP and Russian Ria Novosti. This request was made through a declaration adopted by a congress of deputies, information about which was also published by a Telegram channel. The appeal to Russia includes a call for assistance against what Transnistria describes as 'economic war' from Moldova. The region, which is unrecognized and pro-Russian, lies along the Ukraine border, near Odessa, and is home to over 220 thousand Russian citizens. The request for Russian intervention has raised concerns about potential escalations in the region, with comparisons being made to Russia's actions in eastern Ukraine. The Moldovan government has rejected these claims, condemning them as 'propaganda.' Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that protecting the interests of Transnistria's residents is a priority and that all requests are carefully considered by the relevant departments. The situation has attracted international attention, with the United States expressing support for Moldova's sovereignty and closely monitoring the situation, as stated by a State Department spokesperson.
