Moldova intends to impose sanctions on the head of the unrecognized Transnistria after his visit to Moscow The authorities of Moldova plan to apply restrictive measures against the head of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic, Vadim Krasnoselsky, because of his trip to Russia, where he received a state award from Vladimir Putin. The Bureau of Reintegration Policy under the Government of Moldova reported this on November 5. After Krasnoselsky's return to the country, they intend to prohibit him from leaving the territory of Moldova for a period of five years. The department called the visit a provocation by Russia aimed at delaying the republic's European integration. Chisinau also stated that it is considering possible response measures that do not involve escalating the situation. The bureau noted that Krasnoselsky's trip to Moscow took place against the background of the OSCE-mediated negotiations on the supply of natural gas to Transnistria for the winter period. The day before, Vladimir Putin awarded Krasnoselsky the Order of Honor for his contribution to the development of the region and the protection of the Russian language. After receiving the award, the head of Transnistria thanked the Russian leadership for their support.
