The part that is now called Transnistria was heavily settled by Russians and Ukrainians, and they were not happy to join Moldova, let alone join Romania if unification of the two Romanian speaking lands happened. The fact that the Moldovan SSR government declared the Moldovan form of Romanian as the sole official language, and reverted the official script back to Latin from Cyrillic, also was seen by separatists as a sign that the majority Moldovan people will forcibly assimilate the Russian and Ukrainian minorities. Indeed, the new government of the Moldavian SSR has been trying to stop a similar independence movement in Gagauzia, a region in Moldova with a Turkish population. And so when the Moldavian SSR declared sovereignty, a dissident group in 1990 declared that a new SSR has been formed, named the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic. A war ensued against the Moldovan government where Transnistria had the support of Russian cossacks, ultranationalists, Gagauz separatists, elements of the Russian Army and Ukrainian ultranationalists (with the agenda of absorbing Transnistria into Ukraine), and was not resolved until 1992 where the [[UsefulNotes/RussiansWithRustingRockets Russian garrison]] in Transnistria helped the breakaway government to become independent. However, it was not de jure recognized even by UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia, a situation that continues to this day. Negotiations continued to settle the Transnistrian issue in various formats with some success that allowed limited foreign trade with Moldovan supervision, but efforts stalled and perhaps shelved further as of 2023.
