Description:
Russia has a friend that doesn't officially exist. If you look at the map of Europe, you won't find this country anywhere, but it is here, and it is called Transnistria. This unrecognized state has its own money, military, flag, and even issues its own passport.
In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the people of this ethnically Russian region of Transnistria decided that they didn't want to be part of Moldova, which was receiving stronger influence from Romania. A short but vicious civil war ended in 1992 with Transnistria breaking away from Moldova. Unable to join Russia, Transnistria remained a breakaway republic between Moldova and Ukraine.
Its strategic location is very important for Russia, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine. The plan for Russian troops was to connect Russia to Transnistria via the conquered land in the south of Ukraine, but it hasn't worked so far. With troops stationed in Transnistria, Russia can potentially use this region to launch more attacks in Eastern Europe, particularly in Moldova, which would struggle to defend itself without NATO's help.
Join us as we delve into the complex and little-known history of Transnistria, a region that plays a crucial role in the geopolitical chess game of Eastern Europe. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights into the world's most intriguing and disputed territories.

Russia has a friend that doesn't exist. If you look at the map of Europe, you won't find this country anywhere, but it is here, and it is called Transnistria. This country has its own money, military, flag, and issues its own passport.
In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the people of this ethnically Russian region of Transnistria decided that they didn't want to be part of Moldova, which was receiving stronger influence from Romania. A short but vicious civil war ended in 1992 with Transnistria breaking away from Moldova. Unable to join Russia, Transnistria remained a breakaway republic between Moldova and Ukraine.
Its location is very important for Russia in the context of the war in Ukraine, as the plan for Russian troops was to connect Russia to Transnistria via the conquered land in the south of Ukraine, but it hasn't worked so far. Having troops in Transnistria, Russia can use this region to launch more attacks in Eastern Europe, especially in Moldova, which without NATO help would have no chance.
