    The Russian Federation holds an unknown number of soldiers in Transnistria, an unrecognized breakaway state internationally recognized as part of Moldova. This Russian military presence dates back to 1992, when the 14th Guards Army intervened in the Transnistria War in support of the Transnistrian separatist forces.
    1. What is Transnistria? Transnistria – officially called the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic by Moldova – is a narrow strip of land between Moldova and western Ukraine that is home to about 500,000 people. It is an unrecognized breakaway state that left Moldova after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990.
    Russian troops stationed in Transnistria give Moscow a way to intimidate Moldova and limit its Western aspirations. Moldova applied for European Union membership in March 2022. The presence of Russian troops in Transnistria prevents Moldova from fully controlling its own borders.
    The Transnistrian military itself is relatively small and consists of 4,500 to 7,500 soldiers. Russian military commander Rustam Minnekaev said on April 22, 2022, that Russia intended to establish a land corridor through southern Ukraine to Transnistria.
