Within days, Transnistria will ask to be ANNEXED by Russia. This will likely cause Moldova and Ukraine to ATTACK Transnistria - and Russia to respond to that attack.
Ukraine is so desperate for Ammunition and weapons they are pressuring Moldova to gain access to the old Cobasna Ammo Depot in Transnistria.
The population of Transnistria is large-majority Russian, and they see the writing on the wall.
Ukraine representatives and Moldova representatives have been suggesting, encouraging, pleading for access to the old Russian (Soviet) Ammunition and Weapons Depot located at Cobasna, Transnistria. Naturally, the population there does not want Ukraine to get its hands on that utterly gigantic supply of weapons and ammo which they would then use to kill Russians.
This week, the suggesting/encouraging/pleading changed to coercing/threatening/warning . . . and the people in Transnistria now realize what's coming at them: Either Ukraine or Moldova are apparently going to try to TAKE the Cobasna ammo depot.
The head of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, is convening a congress of deputies at all levels, most likely next week. The congress may issue an appeal to Putin requesting the admission of Transnistria into Russia.
Such a risky move could lead to a military attack by Moldova and the Ukrainian army to grab the ammo depot and wipe-away "Transnistria" as its own, autonomous entity, all in one fell swoop.
