Transnistria monitors all processes in Moldova, especially military cooperation in Chisinau, and calls for resolving all controversial issues peacefully, the head of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic (PMR) Vadim Krasnoselsky said.

“Our principled position is to preserve peace. Of course, we carefully monitor all the processes taking place around our state, including in Moldova. Including international military cooperation of this country. And we call for all controversial issues to be resolved exclusively peacefully at the negotiating table.”, Krasnoselsky said.

According to the constitution, Moldova has a neutral status, but since 1994 the country has been cooperating with NATO under an individual partnership plan. In addition, with the coming to power of the Action and Solidarity party, whose informal leader is President Maia Sandu, exercises began to be held frequently in the country with the participation of military personnel from the USA, Great Britain, Germany, and Romania.

Representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Moldova also stated that they would like to strengthen the country’s defense capability and acquire the necessary weapons for this. In particular, Defense Minister Anatoly Nosaty spoke about the need to create an air defense system. Sandu herself, in an interview with local publications, emphasized that the republic needs to continue the discussion about rapprochement with NATO, since this supposedly helps strengthen the country’s defense capability.
