The former head of the Russian space agency, Dmytro Rogozin, posted on his VK social network account a message from Senate Senator Diana Ivanovich-Soshoake on Tuesday regarding Transnistria, which he said is “a new bone of contention between the Eastern and Western blocs and a possible new flashpoint of the conflict around Romania”.

“Diana Ivanovych-Shoshoeke, a Romanian senator, asked us to publish her political statement before the Romanian Senate on 03/05/2024,” Rogozin began his message on VK, Russia’s largest social network.

Rogozin, appointed senator of the Zaporizhia region in September 2023, is a critic of the West, known for his insults against Russia’s enemies.

The former vice-prime minister of Russia published a message in Russian on Wednesday morning, which Diana Shoshoeke read in the Senate of Romania.

In her message, Shoshoeke said about Transnistria that “Moldova can go to war, then Romania in support of Moldova, and in this way Ukraine will get the much-desired participation of NATO and the EU in a war it has already lost.”

The president of the SOS Romania party also stated that “Moldova is putting pressure on Transnistria, but not independently, but at the behest of the Euro-Atlantic hosts” and that “Moldova risks becoming a new Ukraine, which is being pushed onto the path of war by Soros, a close associate of Maya Sandu, in fact her master”.

Therefore, the Republic of Moldova “can involve Romania, which is a member of the EU and NATO, in the same conflict,” Shoshoeke also said.

The senator also stated that “three fighter jets entered Ukrainian space after leaving Romania to simulate attacks on Russia”, but emphasized that this news was “not confirmed”.

“As a senator and president of the SOS Romania party, I am fighting hard in the Romanian parliament to stop Romania’s intervention in this conflict. The conflict we have been pushed into for 2 years and from which we will come out completely destroyed, just like Ukraine,” said Soshoake, leader of the SOS Romania party, who complained that “weak links” have been attacking her lately. ” around the senator so that her voice “could no longer be heard at the international and national level.”

Her appeal was also published on the website of the party she founded after being expelled from the AUR. And the title of the message seems to indicate that the senator presents herself as the heroine of Romania: “If it is necessary to protect this nation from war, I will also go to Moscow with all the dangers and terrible consequences for me.”

Transnistria wants to be “sovereign”, accuses the Republic of Moldova of “genocide” and “begs” Moscow to come to its aid

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that “the government in Chisinau, headed by Romanian citizens, is simply following in the footsteps of the Kyiv regime, canceling everything that is Russian,” and “wants to annex the Republic of Moldova to Romania.” trying to block the “negotiation process” in the Transnistrian issue.

Lavrov’s statements also came in the context of the fact that the congress, which met in Tiraspol on Wednesday, voted for a resolution that supports the thesis of the sovereignty of the region and asks Moscow for help in this regard, accusing the Republic of Moldova of “genocide”, the publications say Online. official Telegram channels of the region, writes News.ro.

According to the resolution, the 7th congress decided to “appeal” to the Federation Council and the State Duma of Russia, the two chambers of the Russian parliament, “with a request to take measures to protect Transnistria in the face of increased pressure from Moldova.” .

Tiraspol argues this with an appeal to Moscow, taking into account that more than 200,000 citizens of the Russian Federation live on the territory of Transnistria, as well as “taking into account Russia’s positive experience as a peacemaker on the Dniester and its status as a guarantor and mediator in the negotiation process” in the Transnistrian problem.

The unanimously adopted resolution does not specify how Russia will intervene to “help Transnistria”, but it is worth noting that it does not contain a request to join the Russian Federation. Moreover, the speeches of the officials who spoke at the congress focused more on emphasizing the independence of the region and would not discuss unification with the Russian Federation.
