Officials in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria are planning to meet with Russia on February 28th to formally request annexation by Russia. This move, reportedly involving a congress of deputies from all levels, including the head of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, could potentially escalate tensions in the region, sparking a conflict with Moldova and affecting the ongoing situation in Ukraine. The last similar congress in Transnistria occurred in 2006, leading to a referendum where the decision to join Russia was favored. Opposition politicians and reports suggest that following the congress, Russian President Vladimir Putin might announce the acceptance of Transnistria into Russia on February 29. However, Ukrainian intelligence has cast doubt on these plans, stating there is no confirmation that Transnistria will proceed with the request to join Russia.
