“Since September 1, 2021, Ukraine has closed access to the territory of the country for Pridnestrovian vehicles without so-called neutral numbers, the actual number of which, by the way, is now many times lower than the needs of 120 thousand car owners on the left bank of the Dniester.

This outrageous move by Kiev strikes at the interests of all residents of the region, including tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, ”Zakharova said in a statement posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.

According to her, this decision will have a negative impact on the process of resolving the conflict on the Dniester.

She noted that in this way Ukraine discredits itself as a guarantor and mediator in the Transnistrian settlement.

On July 10, the Supreme Court of Justice of Moldova overturned the decision to close 29 polling stations for residents of Transnistria.
