“The first thing they did was to support the war on the Dniester. There is now the Russian army. In 1992, they said:“ Introduce neutrality into the Constitution – and we will leave. ”Moldova has become a neutral state, according to the constitution. We respect this: this is our constitution – we must observe it and we want to observe it. But the only country that does not observe our neutrality is the Russian one. The federation is now Russian troops, ”he said.
According to the head of the Moldovan government, “every time it was necessary, from the point of view of Russia, there was tension on the Dniester.”
“In addition, until recently, until 2021, we, unfortunately, depended only on them. Gas and electricity. Because the gas was only through Gazprom for Moldova, and electricity was produced on the left bank: in the Transnistrian region. And this blackmail took place constantly,” the Republic emphasized.
He noted that in relations with Moldova, Russians used corruption schemes-“for those who were in Moldavian politics, and, of course, for some superiors in Moscow, in St. Petersburg.”
“I’m not talking about the FSB and the rest of the operations. That is, they constantly tried to support politicians in Moldova. The same thing is now. And they continue the same thing now. They spend criminal money through criminal groups here to destabilize. Moreover, in order to buy voices, Moldovan: in order for Moldovans to vote against their own interest,” Rechean explained.
The prime minister drew attention to the fact that despite the money that the Russian Federation invested in the destabilization of Moldova, “Moldovans still made the right choice and proved that Moldova is an independent country with their culture, with their development plan, with their will.”
Context
In 1990, on the territory of Transnistria – an administrative unit with the status of autonomy as part of Moldova – “Transnistrian Moldavian Republic” announced a sovereignty. In this regard, an armed conflict began between Moldova and the self -proclaimed republic. In the summer of 1992, hostilities were completed.
In the 1990s, a contingent of Russian peacekeeping forces was introduced in Transnistria.
The political conflict has not yet been settled. The world community does not recognize the independence of Transnistria. In 2022, after the start of the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation to Ukraine, the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe Recognized the Transnistria of the occupied Russian territory.
