History
In 1991, Transnistria declared independence from Moldova on September 5, fearing her potential unification with 
Romania. This declaration led to tensions and eventually a war between Moldovan forces and Transnistrian separatists, who received support from 
Russian troops. The conflict, which lasted from March to July 1992, ended with a ceasefire but did not resolve the status of Transnistria.
Since the ceasefire in 1992, Transnistria has functioned as a de facto independent state, maintaining his own government, military, and currency. However, he remains unrecognized by any 
United Nations member state, including 
Russia. In 2006, a referendum in Transnistria showed strong support for independence and potential future integration with Russia, although this referendum was not recognized internationally.
In 2009, Transnistria introduced a new constitution to strengthen his governance structure. The situation gained renewed attention in 2014 when Transnistria called for international recognition and unification with Russia following Russia's annexation of 
Crimea. In 2016, Vadim Krasnoselsky was elected president, focusing on closer ties with Russia.
