Tiraspol oppositionist Ghenadie Ciorba says Transnistria could apply for Russian membership on 28 February. The message was posted by him on social media and picked up by Infotag, with the politician citing a Putin address to the Federal Assembly the next day.
According to Ciorba, such an order could come to Tiraspol from Moscow itself. According to him, after Putin’s address, the Kremlin could quickly decide to annex Moldova’s breakaway region. The oppositionist also mentioned Lavrov’s statements that the Russian Federation will not leave its citizens in our country in difficulty.
After the information appeared in the public space, the Government reacted and communicated that the Office for Reintegration follows the events on the left bank of the Dniester and communicates continuously with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other international partners.
