«200 thousand Russian citizens, more than one thousand of the OGRV military personnel (Limited Contingent of Russian Armed Forces), 600 Russian peacekeepers. There are as well Ukrainian, Moldovan and Pridnestrovian peacekeepers. And Ukraine still preserves its status of a guarantor state. So, this guarantor state blockades Pridnestrovie's border today, changes the leaders of the neighbouring region (Odessa) for a complete moron who has nothing to do with with Odessa neither morally, nor he has any family ties. People of Odessa Oblast and Pridnestrovie are actually the same people in mentality and culture," Alexey Martynov emphasized during the Right to Speak chat show of TV Center.
According to the expert, Ukraine itself cannot invade Pridnestrovie, but the conflict can be heated up only through the Tiraspol-Kishinev line, i.e. by the Moldovan side».
So, we hope that Moldovans don't want to be at war, people in Pridnestrovie don't want to be at war either. I don't rely on the politicians, but on the people," Martynov emphasized.
