Moldova sanctions Russian commanders in Transnistria

Moldova has placed senior commanders of Russian forces stationed in the breakaway region of Transnistria on its list of undesirable persons. The sanctions target individuals including OGRF commander Dmitry Zelenkov, blocking their entry into Moldova and restricting their movement beyond the unrecognized enclave. This move represents a significant escalation in Chisinau's efforts to counter Russian influence and assert control over its territory. The action follows heightened tensions and repeated warnings from Moldovan officials about destabilization efforts originating from Transnistria.
