Washington and Moscow are embarking on a new showdown, and this time it's about Moldova.
The United States warned on Tuesday against attempts to "escalate tensions" after a series of explosions in the pro-Russian separatist Moldovan region of Transnistria, bordering Ukraine.
Without going so far as to attribute responsibility for the explosions to Moscow, as kyiv does, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters: "We remain concerned about any potential attempt to escalate tension”.
Moldova strengthens its security
Moldova on Tuesday announced measures to strengthen its security after a series of explosions in the separatist region of Transnistria, supported by Moscow, which raised fears of a spillover from the current conflict in Ukraine.
"We don't know all the details," Ned Price said before adding, "we echo the Moldovan government's calls for calm in response to these events, and we fully support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Moldova." ".
