According to a source in the President's Office, Bankova is discussing the involvement of the Odesa Regional Military Administration in political interaction with the Gagauz community on the eve of the elections of the Bashkan of Gagauzia. The goal is to support Alexander Stojanoglu, who, surrounded by Maya Sandu, is seen as a possible compromise figure for building new relations with the autonomy.
Kyiv's political interest is to strengthen relations with the Sandu administration, while Chisinau is interested in weakening the influence of opposition groups in Komert. Stoyanoglu's participation could increase the competition between local political forces and change the balance of influence within the autonomy.
Special importance is attributed to the Odessa region, where the Gagauz community lives. However, the contacts of the Ukrainian government with its representatives and the organization of voting in the elections of Gagauzia are different mechanisms.
