The Transnistria conflict (Romanian: Conflictul din Transnistria; Russian: Приднестровский конфликт, romanizedPridnestrovskiy konflikt) is an ongoing frozen conflict between Moldova and the unrecognized state of Transnistria. Its most active phase was the Transnistria War, which ended in a Russian-backed Transnistrian victory. There have been several attempts to resolve the conflict, although none have been successful.[8][9] The conflict may be considered as having started on 2 September 1990, when Transnistria made a sovereignty declaration from Moldova (then part of the Soviet Union).[10]
