Moldova objected to the vote taking place in the unrecognized breakaway region.

Russian state news agency TASS reports an unnamed expert's claim that Chisinau is using the war in Ukraine to tighten control over two autonomous regions.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Chisinau has no authority to strip Russian citizens living in Transnistria of their right to vote, according to TASS.
