Ukrainian Ambassador: Transdniestria Qualifies as a Potential Threat

Kyiv is keeping an eye on Transdniestria, as it sees it as a potential threat due to the presence of Russian Armed Forces there. Ukrainian Ambassador to Moldova Marko Shevchenko said this on Wednesday, July 20. “Ukraine is watching Transdniestria. We understand that perhaps the Tiraspol leaders do not want to participate in any way in the military actions, but we also understand that the Russian army forces in Transdniestria are subordinate not to Tiraspol, but to Moscow,” Shevchenko is quoted by iz.ru “That is why Kyiv faces such a threat, which at the moment qualifies as potential,” he said on the air of TVR Moldova. The ambassador stressed that the Ukrainian military is ready to do its job if the potential threat becomes real. On June 27, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kyiv was ready to respond with a blow in case of a threat from the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. Point
