At a recent congress of Transnistrian legislators, which ended up adopting a declaration on the matter, lawmakers called on Moscow to take "measures to protect Transnistria amid mounting pressure from Moldova." Nearly half of Transnistria's 450,000 residents are of Russian descent, they further highlighted.
"We've asked to intensify political and diplomatic measures since the Russian Federation is one of the international mediators in the settlement process," said Vitaly Ignatyev, the republic's self-declared foreign minister, in a statement to broadcaster Rossiya 24.
Concerning the economic blockade, Transnistria called on the United Nations (UN) secretary general, OSCE, the European Union (EU) parliament, and various other international bodies and organization to put pressure on Chisinau to ease its aggression on the republic.
As soon as the Russian parliament receives the official plea document, Moscow will seriously consider it, according to Konstantin Zatulin, a senior lawmaker with the lower chamber, the State Duma.
"Protecting the interests of Transnistria residents, our compatriots, is one of our priorities," said Russia's foreign ministry in a statement. "All requests are always carefully considered."

Moldova condemns Transnistria's request for help
Moldova is responding to the plea with condemnation as Oleg Serebyan, the country's vice prime minister on reintegration, says it is nothing more than "propaganda."
"The Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration and the Bureau for Reintegration Policies of the Moldovan Government firmly dismiss propagandistic statements from Tiraspol," Serebyan said in a statement.
"They emphasize that the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova enjoys peace, security and economic integration policies with the European Union."
Transnistria is a narrow strip of land located between the left bank of the Dniester River and Ukraine. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union back in the '90s it proclaimed independence from Chisinau.
Chisinau attempted, but failed, to reclaim the territory by force around that time, which ultimately led to a ceasefire in 1992. Russia has since maintained a small peacekeeping force throughout the region.
In the years since that time, Tiraspol, Transnistria's capital, has attempted in various ways to integrate the territory with Moscow. When this was attempted back in the mid-2000s, the republic's population overwhelmingly supported the idea.
"Moldova is a liar culture," claimed a commenter at RT about the dispute. "A liar will say anything as long as it's always a lie."
"Don't confuse the CIA-installed government in Chisinau with Transnistria or decent Moldovans everywhere," responded another, differentiating between Moldova's Western-controlled puppet government and the actual people of Moldova.
"This is the Ukraine script, part two," said someone else about Moldova's claims. "Always hating the Russian – so weird."
"I hope the people of Transnistria can join Russia in the future and distance themselves from the anti-white and rotting West," expressed another.
"Hmm, all the resources of the collective West directed via NATO at a single country and that single country is winning," said another about how Russia, despite all the anti-Russian propaganda and the entire West pretty much attacking it, still has the upper hand.
"To be fair, NATO likes its victims to be defenseless and be preferably women, children and lightly-armed peasant farmers they can safely bomb and genocide. Now facing a peer, or better-than-peer military, NATO is being shown to be weak and terrified of direct confrontation. The Western governments will just continue fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian as they are too cowardly to do more."
