He recalled that there is a Russian peacekeeping contingent in Pridnestrovie, whose task is to prevent attempts to disrupt the peaceful state of affairs on the Dniester.
“But, in addition to them, there are still such troops as the task force, which is the former 14th combined-arms army of Russia.
And it is these forces, together with the Pridnestrovian troops, at a critical moment that will interfere with those who try to turn the Dniester into a zone of a new conflict,” Safonov said.
According to him, the mandate of the Russian military group is aimed, among other things, at guarding warehouses with ammunition and weapons belonging to the USSR.
“Otherwise, the explosion may be of such power that the territory of the PMR, Moldova, and Ukraine will be severely damaged.
Any sane person would not want such an outcome, ”Safonov concluded.
On April 26, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Transnistria announced the explosion of two antennas of the regional radio center in the Mayak village.
On April 25, it was reported that a series of explosions occurred in the building of the Ministry of State Security of Transnistria in Tiraspol.
In connection with what happened in Pridnestrovie, a "red" level of terrorist threat was declared, events related to May 9 were canceled, and some schools were transferred to a remote work format.
