Who took charge in Transnistria on 27 May 2022?
Summary
A government change in Transnistria came days after Washington approved a large aid package for Ukraine.
Who was running Transnistria's government after 27 May 2022? The answer was Stanislav Kasap, the Deputy Prime Minister, who became acting head of government that day after Prime Minister Aleksandr Martynov resigned.
The change in Transnistria came six days after United States President Joe Biden signed into law, on 21 May 2022, a bill providing $40 billion in military and economic aid for Ukraine. The measure was also meant to replenish stocks of U.S. equipment sent to Ukraine, fund European Command operations and address the global food crisis.
The two developments were separate events, and no link between them was reported at the time. Kasap's role on 27 May 2022 was acting rather than permanent.
