The text of the declaration adopted by the deputies recommends accepting an appeal to the Federation Council and the State Duma of Russia with a request to “implement measures to protect Transnistria in the face of increasing pressure from Moldova.”

As Sputnik Moldova writes, Transnistria is faced with threats of an economic, social, humanitarian and military-political nature.

Deputies also believe that the international negotiation process between Chisinau and Tiraspol has been artificially driven into stagnation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that Moscow will not allow 200 thousand Russian citizens in Transnistria to become victims of “another Western adventure” to destabilize the region.

Prior to this, the head of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic, Vadim Krasnoselsky, said that the Moldovan authorities had switched from negotiations to methods of pressure.
