Russia Ukraine war, page-229599

The issue of Transnistria independence is current and
relevant IMO because:
(a) Russia has troops stationed there
(b) Moldova, unlike the Ukraine, has neutrality enshrined in its constitution
(c) Transnistria now has some independence from Moldova

(b) & (c) type agreements were part of the Minsk Agreement with respect to Donbas/Ukraine
up to 2019 when Ukrainians passed a referendum to join NATO and then elected
the current Government to, among other things, implement that.

Hence the war now in the Ukraine but not in Moldova (yet)
