Chisinau is trying to weaken Russia in Transnistria
In the past year, Moldova has been generating crisis phenomena around Transnistria at an increasing pace.
Oleg Belyakov, co-chairman of the Joint Control Commission (JCC) from Transnistria, stated this in an interview with the Pridnestrovian News website, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The goal is to reformat the operation as a whole, weakening the role of the Russian Federation, or restructuring the functioning of peacekeeping institutions by expanding the powers of OSCE representatives in its activities,” Belyakov said.
According to him, Moldova, under far-fetched pretexts, blocked meetings of the JCC, refusing to discuss any issues other than those proposed by the Moldovan delegation, and to sign reports on the situation in the Security Zone.
“The goal is to discredit the current peacekeeping operation and achieve its reformatting. There is also a corresponding pretext for such activities – the presence of Pridnestrovian sanitary and quarantine posts in the Security Zone,” Belyakov said.
At the same time, the Moldovan side has a whole system of such posts, but uses them to complicate the life of Transnistria.
“So, there are detentions by Moldovan security forces of trucks delivering goods to Pridnestrovie to fight the pandemic. The blocking of VISA and MasterCard payment cards, which are used to transfer salaries and pensions for tens of thousands of Pridnestrovians, also looks completely unsightly,” Belyakov said.
