Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that Moscow is determined to dispose the ammunition stored in the village of Cobasna in the territory of unrecognized Transnistria. According to him, the preparation may take a year. The minister’s statement was made after negotiations with his Moldovan counterpart Nicu Popescu. Mr. Lavrov said it was important that both the President of Moldova Igor Dodon and the Transnistrian leader Vadim Krasnoselsky supported the proposal of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu, to dispose ammunition that expires. “It is a serious topic. We talked about it,” said Sergey Lavrov. The Foreign Minister added that the preparatory work will take a little more than a year.
