Question

Counter the policy of Andrei Kozyrev, one country’s first and only vice president traveled to a city on this river to support a conflict, and then helped negotiate a ceasefire to that conflict three months later. It’s not in the Caucasus, but the Joint Control Commission was created to occupy a region along this river in the ceasefire following soon after the Battle of Tighina. The first 20th-century pogrom in the Russian Empire began (-5[1])in part in response to the death of a boy in the city of (*) Dubăsari (“doo-buh-SAH-ree”) on this river. Vladimir Voronin refused to accept the compromise offered by Russia in the Kozak Memorandum for ending a conflict along this river. Nazi Germany recognized the land between this river and the Southern Bug (“boog”) as belonging to Romania in the Tiraspol Agreement. For 10 points, identify this river that names a breakaway region of Moldova. ■END■ (10[1])
