“We hear her conceptual statements both about the priority of the European direction of the development of external relations of Moldova, and about the fact that she wants to maintain good relations with the Russian Federation.

I think that good relations with any country ... presuppose taking into account mutual interests, taking into account the agreements that were reached before, "he said.

Lavrov recalled that the Russian peacekeepers, like the peacekeepers of Moldova and Ukraine, are in the conflict zone in accordance with the existing decisions of the "5 +2" group approved by the OSCE.

“It was the Russian peacekeepers who stopped the hot phase of the Transnistrian conflict and since then ensured the preservation of this conflict, albeit frozen, but not fatal,” he added.

Lavrov drew attention to the fact that there is a second group of the Russian military, which is guarding the ammunition depots in Kolbasna.

“And these warehouses are in such a state that the termination of control over their condition is fraught with very serious incidents,” he stressed.

On November 30, Sandu announced that Russian peacekeepers should be withdrawn from Transnistria.

According to her, the mission should be made civil under the auspices of the OSCE.

As noted in the Kremlin, a change in the status quo could lead to destabilization in Transnistria.
