The United States states that there is no immediate threat from Transnistria to Moldova, while continuing to view the situation through a stabilizing lens for the region. The stance aligns with ongoing assessments and is intended to support Moldova as it publicizes Russia’s actions and strengthens resilience amid evolving regional dynamics. Officials have indicated that discussions with the U.S. Congress aim to unlock an additional 300 million dollars to bolster Moldova’s energy sector, with a forthcoming visit to Chisinau planned for mid-March to coordinate further assistance and policy outreach.

In related developments, Moldova’s police leadership has described the discovery of a pro-Russian intelligence network they say operates with the objective of destabilizing the republic. The head of Moldova’s General Police Commissariat stated that the network is directed from Moscow, and that its operatives entered Moldova from the Russian Federation with a clearly defined mission.
