Transnistria, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, is a landlocked breakaway state internationally recognised as part of Moldova, occupying a narrow strip of land between the Dniester River and the Moldova-Ukraine border. It declared independence from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in September 1990 and again from the Soviet Union in August 1991, formally establishing the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic that November amid fears that Moldova would reunite with Romania. Its capital and largest city is Tiraspol, and although no United Nations member state recognises its independence, it maintains its own government, parliament, currency and military, sustained in large part by Russian support and the presence of Russian troops.
