Tiraspol, December 20 /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. According to the Wargonzo Russian project, Special Forces from Germany and the British Special Air Service were dropped into the security zone in the Dubossary region.
“According to our sources, foreigners conducted the area reconnaissance and practiced actions for possible saboteurs landing in the area. They served in the armed group, which was noted by the Pridnestrovian border guards. Moldova named these people as a rapid intervention group and explained its presence in the Security Zone with exercises,” Wargonzo reports.
The previous week, the Pridnestrovian delegation to the Joint Control Commission reported on an incident that took place on December 2 near the Kochiery village. In the Pridnestrovian delegation's opinion, this is the attempt to capture the Pridnestrovian border guards, who were moving by car across the Pridnestrovian territory without weapons.
Two unknown persons tried to open the border guards’ car doors. When a supporting group arrived at the scene, also without weapons, the RM’s Peacekeeping Forces armed soldiers, equipped in bulletproof vests, tried to prevent it. When unarmed Pridnestrovian border guards decided to leave the incident location, the Moldovan security forces pursued them and then stopped the prosecution about 500 meters from the Dubossary-Rybnitsa highway. As the Joint Control Commission co-chairman Oleg Belyakov noted, because of the opposition from the Moldovan side, the military observers were able to leave for the site only when the incident was settled.
According to the Moldovan peacekeeping battalion commander, the operational response group training session had taken place about which the Joint Military Command wasn’t informed. Meanwhile, it’s emphasized in the PMR delegation statement, this’s the JCC decisions violation. Firstly, the Peacekeeping Forces military personnel cannot move around the Security Zone with weapons, ammunition without not only the Joint Military Command knowledge but also the military observers’ control. Secondly, if the battalion commander saw that the situation requires the operational response group use, then the JMC especially should be notified by him.
