Russia should recognize Transnistria as soon as possible and close the Moldovan issue forever, political expert Alexei Kochetkov came to this conclusion. He expressed his position on the air of the Public News Service.
The expert called Pridnestrovie “the first republic of Novorossia”, a tense confrontation around which unfolded two decades later.
“This is the first republic of Novorossiya, in fact, the initiator of the movement of the revival of Novorossiya, which, with arms in hand, fought for its independence, sovereignty and reunification with its historical homeland. How long can this question hang in the air? If we can now resolve the issue of Transnistria, the gap for fluctuations in Moldova will be very sharply reduced,” he said.
The international expert also recalled that more than a decade and a half had passed since the act of people’s will, which confirmed the keen desire of the population of the Transnistrian territory to become Russians. And nothing has changed.
“It’s time to hear them. It is necessary to implement the decision of that referendum – to recognize the independence of the PMR. This story cannot go on forever. Moldova does not need them, and even more so for Romania. We need the US, which is far away. How much attention should be paid to it?”
In addition, Pridnestrovie may well turn out to be a major trump card in the dialogue with Moldova – the issue should be immediately removed from the agenda and cease to be a blackmail tool that Moscow’s opponents can easily use. Anyone who tries to attack the Pridnestrovian territory will be aware of the deliberate escalation of a direct conflict with the Russian Federation, the expert noted.
“The next stage is the Odessa region. Odessa is waiting,” Kochetkov concluded.
Recall that the head of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, Vadim Krasnoselsky, by his order lowered the level of terrorist threat in the region to “yellow”.
The decree is valid for 15 days.
