This is the best summary I could come up with:

Pro-Russian officials in the Transnistria region of Moldova on Thursday called for help from Moscow "in the face of increased pressure."

The cogress said the Moldovan government had unleashed "economic war" on th region, blocking crucial imports and seeking to turn it into a "ghetto".

That congress saw deputies announce a referendum on integrating with Russia, a vote that resulted in an overwhelming majority in favor.

"The decisions of the current congress cannot be ignored by the international community," the "foreign policy chief" of the self-styled republic, Vitaly Ignatiev, told the meeting.

Moscow is accused of seeking to destabilize Moldova, which gained official candidate status for European Union membership in June 2022.
