Moldova’s frozen conflict with Russian-backed breakaway region Transnistria - BBC Newsnight

This is Russians` modus operandi. At first, create a conflict and fuel that conflict by providing arms and ammunitions to one of the sides and then play a "mediator".

Estonia, Lithuainia and Latvia suffered Soviet censorship of national folk songs, language and culture. Upon the fall of USSR, the people of those countries formed a human chain across the land and borders. Nobody but Russia wants a czar or king or obedient puppets of any czar or king.

Sper că ne vom putea uni cu Transnistria! E trist cum suntem din aceași popor, dar suntem separați din cauza rușilor!😖☹️

Russian “peacekeepers” what a joke 🙄

Russia is a terrorist state. It is a cancer on the civilized world.

Most likely Russia’s next target for 2023 and Moldova better be ready for that⚠️

Exactly the same OTAN (BBC boss and owner and the master BBC serves) did with Yugoslavia. You divided it and provoked a terrible war, and after provoking it you blame Serbians and bombed them. The problem is that you can not do the same with Russia

Be careful of Russian immigrants. They are a trojan. If you want to be Russian. Live in Russia. All around eastern Europe they seem to create havoc.

The conflict has unfrozen today , now Russia will need to lose a war on two fronts ............. Well played once again putler LMFDO

Ukraine-Russia is a frozen conflict potentially-no side will win! Time for a detente!

could trannistria attack ukraine as it could probably muster up 100 thousand conscripts and it would be a pain in the side for ukraine

Stay strong Russia

If Ukraine fell to Russia it's obvious Moldova would be next ... the only thing that stopped that in 1992 was logistical supply lines issues. I'm sure Moldova would love to join NATO but a country in conflict isn't allowed to.

Most of the conflicts like this require common border.

The “funny” thing is, that despite Moldova has border with Ukraine, not Russia, it was the russians again, who streched out their hands to mess up with this small harmless country.

They called it “civil war” again, of course😏. It was civilians and just some of the russian military forces, who just lost their way in moldovan forest

The solution is fairly obvious, Moldova and Transnistria have been living side by side very peacefully since the conflict ended in 1991 the EU should recognise Transnistria's wish to be independent especially since they have been self governing for over 31 years now. Recognising Transnistria would open up a dialog with the country and the people would soon seek to join the EU.

Republik of Moldavien has to send Intel an soldiers to suport Ukraine.
This is a direct threat to Moldova.
Moldova has to start admiting this danger and start helping strongly because it is in it's interests.
If they don't want to be atacked they have to send soldiers in silence , to send anonym, without Name and speaking Russian ...
Nobody will Notice.

Peace

Moldova is bigger in every aspect, and dont even have a military that could beat 1000 troops? Lmfao i wouldnt want to be apart of such weakness also.

Ukrainians fought for transistra too

Ukraine and Romania should finish off the Russian garrison un so called Transnistria

I live in Moldova. Trust me, we all support Russia. Not our puppet president controlled by the US and Nato. Stop freaking being delusional... jesus! Westerners you dont know sh*! All you know is what they show you on TV social media. SOCIAL MEDIA is the KEY weapon of the US and EU. Wake the f** up. Ukraine was also a "Candidate " it was just a provocation from the EU so Russia starts a conflict and becomes the bad guy JUST like in hollywood movies. You are all unbelievably stupid.

Transnistria is the east European equivalent of Rhodesia. That should tell you everything about the nature and motivations of the "government" in Transnistria... They're a self-serving bunch, with everyone opposed to them considered second class citizens. It's a petty little dictatorship oppossing the decolonization of territory cynically conquered by Russia, and nothing else.

Before the end of WWII, Moldova was part of Romania, and should have stayed part of it. Russian imperialism decided otherwise and forced Moldova into the USSR, with Transnistria being a covert effort to keep Moldova destitute, poor, and a potential staging ground for Russian invasions. The fact that Transnistria has been around for thirty years, and Russia has increasingly been waving the "Ukraine does not exist, the Baltics don't exist, Finland doesn't exist" card says a lot about the Russian colonialist mentality. Belarus, while a nominally independent country, has been recently increasingly puppetized by Russia. This sort of Russian colonialist mentality belongs in the 19th century, not the 21st century.

To arms to arms the bird's await their feast of human flesh

bbc sucks

Westerners are dick heads. You'll travel half way across the world to talk about other people's problems and make out it isn't for your own interests. Why are you there or care?

On 24.02.2023, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow considers Transnistria as Russian territory!

So apart from fact that the KREMLIN started the UKRAINIAN CRISIS and now it's claiming the UNRECOGNIZED SEPARATIS STATE OF TRANSNISTIRA, witch on an INTERNATIONAL LEVEL does not EXIST! So what the KREMLIN is actually claiming is the MOLDOVAN DISTRICT OF TRANSNISTRIA!

KREMLIN, stop interfering in other countries business and mess thing up, if the KREMLIN continues to influence MOLDOVAN POLITICS it might start ANOTHER CRISIS or REIGNITE THE FROZEN CONFLICT OF THE TRANSNISTRIAN WAR!

Unrecognized state are places that do not exist in international relations, they have achieved de facto independence, often through warfare but have failed to gain international recognition!

Frozen conflict is a situation in which active armed conflict has been brought to an end, but no peace treaty!

Russia has now decided its not Moldovan.

If I was Moldova I would close the border and contain these Russian disrupters in the Transanistan area the invite the USA IN TO BUILD A BASE in your country!

THIS IS THE MOMENT, THIS YEAR AND ON THIS OCCASION THIS ,, TRANSNISTRIAN ´ LAND WILL DISAPPEAR

RUMÄNIEN ÜBERALL

This is where problem arises.
"RUSSIA BACKED"

RUSSIAN BACKED rebels in Donbas..
RUSSIAN BACKED Assad Gov't in Syria

Moldova is part of Romania history Russia is problem to thousand of years to Neighbors

Brain wash by separatist They do not have education they use old books for children 21st century people believe what was 60 years ago they do not get Freedom From Russia Every USSR state show be free Russian influence should be over once forever never come back if they love so much take off Putin pants and suck his dicck blow job free for freedom

Moldava-gipsy

Moldova doesnt just have a problem with corruption, corruption is what keeps the country from advancing, the thing is they dont have a problem with the 'advencing part, they have a problem with the country itself as an existing element, they should have retaken controll at least by the mid 2000s

Wpaa

Russia needs to annex Moldova and Belarus should unite with Russia.

Ukraine should help of Moldova wants to clear the area and capture the ammunition there

SLAVA MOLDOVA!!!!!!!

Pokhraba doesn't exist where is that Church Again?

Don't forget about Russia "annexing" parts of Georgia.

Georgia is another country to consider that's relevant to this topic.

Who controls Europe? NATO? or Putin? It is that simple. if it is NATO then the people breathe the air of person freedom and liberty. if it is putin - they don't. putin has been coloring far outside of the lines for far too long. 
How do you balance the lives of 770 people protected by NATO against One - Mortal Individual?  
With the putin junta keeping $1Ttrillion in countries protected by NATO - give patin a single choice - withdrawal from Ukraine by June 1, 2024 - of forfeit ALL russia junta assets kept in Europe. Permanently.
NATO can restore trnasnistria to Moldova - and give free safe passage t all russians living there - back to russia.
Time to bring real tangible pain to the single individual in russia as mortal as the guy he is standing next to.

LONG LIVE RUSSIA 🇷🇺

It's funny how all comments here are one-sided, almost all the people here seem to have a solution to the problem, but none of them even closely take into consideration on what the people of Transnistria actually want. This place only exists because of cheap natural gas from Russia, without it, it would face the same fate as most of Moldavian villages and small towns, it would just die, the prices of everything would skyrocket, and it would be impossible to survive. Moldova chose its own fate, why do people of Transnistria have to suffer with it?

Why the hell do western news outlets always do segments about eastern European places during the winter or early spring? Have y'all ever thought of trying to go there during the summer?

Moldova!!!!Moldova hear me! Get healthy! Get rich! Get unified! MY PEOPLE LET US CHOOSE 💕 💕 LOVE 💕💕! LET US CHOOSE JESUS!!! LET US CHOOSE UNITY!!!!

In western, meanwhile peace flows with Russia, Russia seems like the same sh** as the other eastern countries, nothing special, but, in fact, Russia, for eastern, is THE IMPERIALISM itself.
