Transnistria to ‘ask’ Putin for annexation on February 28 — opposition figure

A congress of "MPs" from all levels is set to convene on Feb. 28 in Tiraspol, Moldova (the capital of unrecognized Transnistria), to possibly appeal to Russia to "accept Transnistria into the Russian Federation,” said local oppositionist and activist Gennady Chorba, Moldovan Infotag private news agency reported on Feb. 21.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is scheduled to address the Federal Assembly in Moscow on Feb. 29 and could potentially announce his acceptance of the "MPs’’ request, Chorba said.
