Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced concerns over the potential for increased activity in the unrecognized Transnistria region, which has been relatively quiet since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy highlighted that Transnistria has been receiving signals from Ukraine, indicating a possible strategic shift in the region’s dynamics.
According to Zelenskyy, the region’s behavior may change if there is a significant shift in the composition of the Moldovan parliament. He warned that such changes could lead to various developments in Transnist, raising concerns about its potential impact on regional stability. Zelenskyy’s comments underscore the importance of keeping a close watch on the situation, given the proximity of the region to Ukraine.
Transnistria, a breakaway region in Moldova, has remained largely inactive since the invasion began. However, Zelenskyy’s warning suggests that the region is not immune to external pressures, particularly if political changes in Moldova could influence its stance. The president’s remarks reflect ongoing efforts to manage the complex geopolitical landscape in the region, as both Ukraine and Moldova navigate challenges related to Russian influence and internal politics.
