Transnistria: Escalating Tensions Raise Concerns
A Lingering Conflict
The Transnistria conflict, an armed conflict that erupted in 1992, has continued to simmer in the breakaway region of Moldova. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has escalated tensions, with a series of unexplained explosions occurring in Transnistria in recent weeks.
Heightened Concerns
The explosions have raised concerns about the potential for an escalation of violence. Transnistria houses Russian troops and has been a flashpoint for tensions between Moldova and Russia. Fears are growing that the conflict could spill over into Ukraine or Moldova.
Moldovan authorities have condemned the explosions and called for restraint. Russia has denied involvement but has warned against any attempts to destabilize the region.
