Transnistrian armed conflict: almost 30 years later

March 2, 2021 will mark 29 years since the beginning of the armed conflict in Transnistria. After the collapse of the USSR, this region did not want to follow the path proposed by the new authorities in Chisinau. And then the path was designated as follows - "together with Romania." Pridnestrovians proclaimed their own republic, with which Chisinau was not ready to agree. As a result, the first shots were fired on the eastern bank of the Dniester, and a few days later heavy weapons were also used.

According to eyewitnesses of those events, the Moldovan army did not spare either effort or money to “rein in” the rebellious young republic. On the streets of Pridnestrovian cities appeared Tanks Moldovan army. One of the hottest spots on the map of Moldova at that time was the city of Bender. The war crimes committed there have not yet received a clear assessment either from Chisinau or from international institutions.

Russia was able to put an end to the bloody conflict in 1992.

Interestingly, Moscow then advocated the introduction of UN peacekeepers into Transnistria. But the Western "partners" decided that it would be expensive and endowed the Russian military with peacekeeping status. And the current leadership of Moldova, deliberately ignoring the fact that for almost 30 years peace reigns on the banks of the Dniester due to the Russian presence, is trying to squeeze out the Russian peacekeeping contingent.

The situation is described in the program "Access Code". Almost 30 years after those events:

The current leadership of Moldova, deliberately ignoring the fact that for almost 30 years peace has reigned on the banks of the Dniester due to the Russian presence, is trying to squeeze out the Russian peacekeeping contingent.

They interfere with them like a bone in the throat.

"Transnistria is a breakaway region. Representatives of the constitutional authority of Moldova cannot get there. But we will find a format for resolving the conflict. It should include the complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Moldovan territory."

This was stated by Maia Sandu a month before the inauguration.

These daughters are mongrels, they can't even bite, they just breach from under the fence. How afraid they are of the dark and other dogs.

Well, where is it said about the withdrawal of the Russian peacekeeping forces from Moldova ...
Even at the beginning of the video for the article, the President of Moldova spoke about the withdrawal of the OGRF, and not the Russian peacekeepers from Moldova ...
The commentator specifically says all the time that Moldova wants the withdrawal of the peacekeepers, people are constantly confused, the OGRF and the Russian peacekeepers in the PMR are different things ...

This is understandable for Pridnestrovie, but why Gagauzia is constantly discarded from political accounts, there has always been an anti-Romanian vector, now the Turks are getting there. It would not be bad for Russia to have its own influence there, especially since it was there once.

There are not so many Gagauzians to significantly influence the political situation.
The autonomy does not yet have an open conflict with the official Chisinau.

Yes, everything is clear that Transnistria will be shaken now. The position of the Russian Federation is vulnerable there - all around are "friends"

This is on the main square of Tiraspol - scenery for the May Day parade. The city lives the usual quiet life of a small southern town - in the bar there is Czech beer on tap, and the history is reminiscent of the warnings on the walls, where under the stencil paint it is written that there is a bomb shelter nearby.

I want to say the following! They won't lag behind! These Western democracies! And children must be bequeathed
damn any democracy! as a German said in our Reich it is fraught with only one
by the dictatorship of small shopkeepers!

[Azimuth]

Peacekeepers have a status or do not have, everything will be decided within the framework of this.
For us, “we don’t abandon our own people,” although lately this has only caused sarcasm and thought it’s better to bring Central Asians to us than to create real conditions for the return of compatriots.
For them, Moldovans, Transnistria are separatists, illegal armed groups and others.
Everyone has their own truth.

IMHO, we need to take our people so that Moscow is Moscow and remains that way, and not become Moskvabad.

[certero]

One of the first "hot" conflicts in the USSR.
One of the latest applications of the Rapier anti-tank gun directly to tanks.
And a visible proof that it is Russia that knows how to end conflicts. Eh, they wouldn’t piss to send a contingent to Donbass.
