In the capital of Moldova arrived Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The Russian delegation was invited to Chisinau by President Igor Dodon in connection with the celebrations of the anniversary celebration – 75-th anniversary of the liberation of the city and all of Moldova from the Nazi invaders.
The very fact of such an invitation aroused indignation on the part of representatives of the so-called pro-Western course of Moldova. But this, what is called, their problems.
Igor Dodon:
During the conversation, we came to a common opinion on the importance of resuming a full-fledged strategic partnership between our countries, including at the level of Parliament and Government. Thanked the Russian Federation for assistance to Moldova in the trade and economic sphere, in the field of protecting our migrants, as well as for her important role in the political settlement of the Transnistrian conflict. In this context, he highlighted the peacekeeping operation, held on the Dniester.
Sergei Shoigu during the visit offered to deal with the disposal of ammunition, located in a warehouse near the village of Kolbasna in Transnistria. According to Shoigu, Russia is ready to provide the necessary equipment for this.
