> whats going on in transnistria and what role can ukraine play?   some experts suggest that ukraine, moldova, and romania could displace russia as the primary provider of raw materials to transnistria. ukraine has an excess of coal, and both ukraine and moldova have sufficient gas reserves to supply the region in the short term. additionally, romania, the eus second-largest gas producer, could contribute. by offering to support transnistria during this crisis in exchange for favorable electricity export rates, the three countries could create a mutually beneficial arrangement. but this opportunity has even broader implications. if russia loses control of transnistrias gas supply, its influence over the regionand moldovawould be severely limited. and with their white knight plan to resume the supply of gas foiled, russias reputation in transnistria will take a hit. this would not only curb russian influence, but could even potentially pave the way for reintegration of transnistria into moldova. > part 3
