NATO and Moldova deepen cooperation: the Russian Federation should withdraw troops from Transnistria - Stoltenberg
"It is a pleasure to meet with Dorin, the Prime Minister of our respected Moldova partner," Stoltenberg wrote in the post. After the meeting, NATO Secretary General stated that the Alliance fully supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova and called on the Russian Federation to withdraw all its troops from the territory of the unrecognized Transnistria. He noted that NATO and Moldova have been cooperating for 30 years, and in these difficult times this partnership will deepen.
"Moscow continues to put pressure on Moldova, including energy blackmail and misinformation, with the aim of destabilizing society and undermining your democracy. But Moldova reacted decisively, condemning the invasion of Ukraine and strengthening its sustainability and security. . We ask Russia to withdraw our troops from your territory. You can count on constant support, "Stoltenberg said, quotes deschide. md.
The Transnistrian Moldavian Republic (abbreviated "PMR" or Transnistria) is a self -proclaimed state in Eastern Europe in Transnistria, which is recognized by the international community as part of Moldova. На північному сході межує з Україною (Одеська та Вінницька області), на південному заході — з Молдовою.
The so -called "independence" of the unknown "PMR" was proclaimed on August 25, 1991, after which a short -term armed conflict, which ended with the actual victory of the separatists with the participation of the Armed Forces, began between the separatists and the Russian military on the one hand and the Moldovan troops on the other. Russia does not officially recognize the sovereignty of Transnistria, but at the unofficial level it gives it military, economic, political and diplomatic support.
