Who took charge in Transnistria on 27 May 2022?
Summary
A look back at a change of government in Transnistria and a US aid law signed days earlier.
Who was running Transnistria's government after 27 May 2022? On that date, Deputy Prime Minister Stanislav Kasap became acting head of government, following the resignation of Prime Minister Aleksandr Martynov.
The reports from that day describe the handover in those terms: Martynov stepped down, and Kasap, his deputy, took over in an acting capacity.
The wider backdrop
Six days earlier, on 21 May 2022, United States President Joe Biden signed into law a bill providing $40 billion in military and economic aid for Ukraine. As reported at the time, the legislation was also meant to replenish stocks of US equipment sent to Ukraine, fund European Command operations and address the global food crisis.
The two developments were separate items in the news of those days.
