Foreign Minister of the Pridnestrovian Republic Vitaliy Ignatiev commented on the statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of Moldova Tudor Ulyanovsk on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Transnistria, saying the decision without consulting Tiraspol accepted can not.
Ignatiev said, that any decision on peacekeeping operations to change the format or removing any part of the peacekeeping mechanism can not be made without taking into account the views and positions of the people of Pridnestrovie, and Tiraspol will never take action, which pose a threat to peace and security on the Dniester. He added, that in Transnistria, except Russian peacekeepers, no other Russian troops. All statements regarding Moldova ostensibly maintaining a peacekeeping mission in the Transnistrian republic, but without the operational group of Russian troops, which is part of peace operation, just not objective.
earlier it was reported, that on the initiative of Moldovan MPs in the UN Secretariat draft resolution was registered on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Transnistria. Consideration of the issue is scheduled for 22 June 2018 of the year.
Recall, Transnistria, 60% whose inhabitants are Russian and Ukrainian, It sought to secede from Moldova before the collapse of the USSR, fear, that the wave of nationalism Moldova will join Romania. AT 1992 year, after a failed attempt to force Moldovan authorities to solve the problem, in the territory of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic was organized, is not subordinate to Chisinau. The republic is the operative group of Russian troops, the successor to the 14 th Combined Arms Army, that after the collapse of the USSR was transferred under the jurisdiction of Russia, which performs the tasks of the peacekeeping mission and the protection of warehouses, left over from the 14th Army.
