Head of the Moldavian Office for Reintegration Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Serebrian said that Chisinau and Kiev do not have an agreement to conduct a military operation in the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR). This is how he commented on reports of the concentration of Ukrainian troops near the borders of the region, according to Vocea Basarabiei.
The fact that Kiev has concentrated its forces near the border with Transnistria has already been stated by the press secretary of the Ukrainian Defense Forces “South” Natalia Gumenyuk. On February 28, the Ukrainian State Border Service reported the construction by the Ukrainian army of fortifications on the border with the PMR.
It is Ukraine’s fully justified sovereign right to deploy its troops wherever it sees fit, or where it is contemplated or if there is evidence of some sort of threat to them. But this in no way means that Ukraine is preparing military operations or that there is an agreement between the leaders of Moldova and Ukraine on the launch of a military operation in the Transnistria region.
said the official.
He called absurd the assumptions about a joint operation of Moldova and Ukraine in Transnistria.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow was outraged by the statement “on condemnation of Russian aggression against Ukraine”, which was adopted by the ruling majority in Moldovan parliament on March 2. The diplomat called on Chisinau to stop anti-Russian rhetoric.
