===Relations with Transnistria===
{{main|Transnistria}}
The territory of Moldova includes the separatist [[Transnistria (geographical region)|Transnistria]] region. Transnistria had a particularly large non-Moldovan population (about 60%) and broke away from Moldova less than a year after Moldova became independent at the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union|fall of the Soviet Union]]. The [[Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic]] controls main part of this region, and also the city of [[Bender, Moldova|Bender]] and its surrounding localities on the west bank. The international diplomatic situation with respect to the question of Transnistria determines and is determined by Moldova's relations with Russia. Russia, [[Ukraine]], [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]], EU, and United States are involved at different degrees in the conflict resolution.
