This was also a means to bolster Soviet <a href="/wiki/Propaganda" title="Propaganda">propaganda</a> and possibly start a <a href="/wiki/Communist" class="mw-redirect" title="Communist">communist</a> revolt in <a href="/wiki/Romania" title="Romania">Romania</a>. In 1940, the USSR annexed Bessarabia (area consisted of territory of modern Moldova and parts of southwestern <a href="/wiki/Ukraine" title="Ukraine">Ukraine</a>). However, when <a href="/wiki/Romania" title="Romania">Romania</a> turned fascist, things went horribly wrong for the Moldovan ASSR. Romania joined the <a href="/wiki/Axis" title="Axis">Axis</a> in <a href="/wiki/World_War_2" class="mw-redirect" title="World War 2">World War 2</a> and began the occupation of the Moldovan ASSR, most notably the area of Transnistria. Once World War 2 drew to a close, the USSR reclaimed the area.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[6]</a></sup> </p><p>As the USSR neared its end, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic was established by the central government. The local government wanted to stay within the Soviet Union should Moldova unite with Romania or outright declare independence. When Moldova declared independence, the newly-formed nation claimed Transnistria as part of its territory. This created tensions between Moldova and the Transnistrian local government.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a></sup> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Conflict_with_Moldova">Conflict with Moldova</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Transnistria&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Conflict with Moldova">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Originally part of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic in the USSR, Transnistria was considered an integral part of the former Soviet Republic. Near the fall of the Soviet Union, the central government proposed a small state where Transnistria was back in 1988. However, when Moldova declared independence from the doomed Soviet Union, it claimed the area of Transnistria as part of its sovereign territory. The international community shared this view. Despite that, the ethnic <a href="/wiki/Russia" title="Russia">Russian</a> population demanded their own country separate from Moldova. This began the <i>Transnistria Conflict</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a></sup> </p><p>The first military action took place in the Cocieri-Dubăsari area near the Dniester River. On March 1, 1992, Igor Shipcenko, the PMR militia chief of Dubăsari, was killed by a teenager, and Moldovan police were accused of the killing. Although minor, this incident was a sufficient spark for the already very tense situation to blow up and cause the conflict to escalate. In response, Cossack regiments from the Caucasus region and the Russian military were brought in to fight against Moldova.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[9]</a></sup> The Russians, Cossacks, and Transnistrians united against Moldova in the Transnistria War which lasted from 1990 to 1992. The end result was an <i><a href="/wiki/Ad_hoc" title="Ad hoc">ad hoc</a></i> ceasefire. The start of Transnistria's unrecognized independence began in 1992. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Possible_Russian-Ukrainian_conflict_spillover">Possible Russian-Ukrainian conflict spillover</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Transnistria&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Possible Russian-Ukrainian conflict spillover">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <table class="messagebox mb-info" style=""> <tbody><tr> <td class="mb-image"><a href="/wiki/File:Information_icon.svg" class="image"><img alt="Information icon.svg" src="/w/images/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/50px-Information_icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="50" srcset="/w/images/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/75px-Information_icon.svg.png 1.5x, /w/images/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/100px-Information_icon.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="620" data-file-height="620" /></a> </td> <td class="mb-text">This section documents an ongoing military event.
