Transnistria is ready to join Russia

Vadim Krasnoselsky, President of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic (PMR), said that the republic would be able to join Russia after the international community recognized its independence. He said this at a meeting with State Duma deputy Kazbek Taysaev, reports on Friday, October 27, portalNews Transnistria.

Russia is many-sided for us. She is the guarantor of the negotiation process, a peacemaker, a strategic partner, the state in respect of which the Transnistrian people spoke out unequivocally - for reunification with the great Motherland - the Russian Federation - after recognizing the independence of the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika

- declared Krasnoselsky.

He added that 220, thousands of citizens of the Russian Federation, live in the republic. The remaining hundreds of thousands consider themselves compatriots.

March 2 The PMR Supreme Council supported the bill on the use of the Russian tricolor along with the national flag.

Transnistria declared independence at the start of the 1990s. Russia provides economic assistance to the republic (according to experts, annual assistance is comparable to Transnistria’s GDP of about a billion dollars). At the same time, Russia has not yet officially contested the affiliation of this territory to Moldova.

In September, 2006, a referendum was held in Transnistria, during which the majority of voters supported joining Russia, reports "Lenta.ru"

This has already been voiced. Transnistria counts on the status of the second Kaliningrad region? "... after the international community recognized its independence." Such recognition will not be very soon.

Only here is how to establish logistics, Transnistria is in the ring of "bros" and Romanians.

republic will be able to join Russia after recognition by the international community of its independence

But this can be expected for about 100 years. And even more.

Only here is how to establish logistics

through the Odessa People's Republic easily !!! all types of transport .....

[Mikhail Zubkov]

Through the Federal People's Republic of Budazhak, as part of the people's republics of Gagauzia, Transnistria and Budazhak-Bessarabia. On the Danube and the Dniester - a normal move to the Crimea and back. The Russian Danube and Dniester flotillas urgently need to be revived!

Tiraspol brothers, join Belarus!
I will agree with Old Man.
We will build a grape and potato empire together

[Shurik70]

While in Kiev, the puppet fascist regime (Poroshenko, Saakashvili or someone similar) - the West does not recognize the Transnistrian branch.
And if the regime is not fascist, there will be no reason to secede.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Shurik70

The West branch of Transnistria does not recognize.

If the West does not recognize, then Russia and the "unrecognized" republics such as Abkhazia and South Ossetia will recognize, and with them a couple of states such as S. Korea, Ecuador, Cuba and the Philippines. Someone will say garbage, not the great ones recognized, but this will not be able to change their status. Until 1947, there was no such state as Israel, which arose only thanks to the will of I.V. Stalin, the memory of which they are now trying to burn with hot iron.

Hey. Israel has long forgotten about this and thanks for the fact of its existence, great America, alone with the meager help of the USSR, defeated fascist Germany, fascist Italy and fascist Japan. And Stalin with his USSR only slightly helped the "exclusive" nation in this war (Western creed).

[siberalt]

The question is political. Who does not remember Lukashenko who promised to recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia? If the promised wait until the cancer on the mountain whistles, then there is nothing to reproach him with. But why should he not hold a plebiscite on this issue and find out what Belarusians themselves think about it, to insure themselves from their Western partners? It seems that he is scared for the opinion of the people that does not coincide with his opinion.

[Cutter]

Maybe it’s necessary, for "safety net". Financially dependent on whom? Teachings for the WHOLE WORLD DISAPPOINTED - with whom ???? I propose - close this question once - and forever!

Our politicians It would have long been recognized.

[Herculesic]

Never a “world community” under the protectorate of the United States will allow humanity to recognize Transnistria, LNR, Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent subjects of the world community, just as they do not recognize Crimea as a part of Russia, therefore we just need to philosophically recognize Transnistria as a part of Russia and build with relations with them exactly as with the subject of Russia! There will be a million problems, but they can all be solved if desired! !!

It is only necessary to get rid of their bloodsuckers-bourgeois and tongues to shorten the liberals-trepachev.

No, it's not real. This is the territory, although controversial, but of a different state. I had an army friend with Nag.Karabakh. Armenian, good guy Petya.

And these people tell us about the Golan Heights ...

There is some difference, however. Jews stubbornly tried to settle in the Gollan, they began this unsuccessful process in the past, if it does not alter sclerosis, a thousand three hundred years ago. And they were expelled from there by anyone without falling into it, from the ancient tribes that settled this land at different times to the crusaders and Saracens, who in those places arranged mochilo among themselves. Which, however, did not prevent them both from treating the Jewish population somewhat politically incorrectly. Then, over time, the Jews tried to populate this territory again. With the same result. Well, they liked this place and that's it. The last time this thing generally belonged to the French, who, leaving these places, transferred the territory of Syria. And after June 6, 1967, the Jews seized the Gollan from the Syrians and immediately joyfully began to stamp settlements there. And ..... What is the analogy with Abkhazia, Crimea, Donbass and Transnistria? Ali, did we chop something off, drove out the local residents and started frantically building Russian settlements? To the insanity of the locals? Do not make me laugh....

Interesting statements. Already that year. They are ready even tomorrow. But. RF respects ter. the integrity of Moldova, respects the referendum, still something there respects and other blah blah blah (as an example the text for Peskov) and expresses concern with something else.
In general, when the Russian Federation will be ready (and this will be either never, or not soon). PMR has already made such statements a lot. The unrecognized territory has no chances to survive without the RF. The blockade ring is still missing something, but it is compressed inexorably. The Russian Federation has its own problems.
The world community will not be able to recognize the new formations on the body of the destroyed USSR. I do not quite understand the logic of the birth of decades of unrecognized republics, where the incomprehensible status does not guarantee the arrival in the native harbor (as we have seen if it is necessary, you can in a month). These are hotbeds of tension, problems, difficulties in people.
