He also emphasized that in Chisinau they know approximately how much ammunition is stored in warehouses in Transnistria, and therefore it is important that their disposal be carried out under international control.
Earlier this September, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, during a visit to Chisinau, invited Moldovan President Dodon to begin the process of disposing of ammunition from a warehouse in the village. Sausage in place, without exporting them to Russia. The fact is that about 50% of ammunition in warehouses must be disposed of in connection with the expiration of their shelf life. The second reason is Ukraine, which previously declared the inadmissibility of transit of ammunition belonging to the "Russian aggressor" through its territory.

According to local residents, after the liquidation, Russia will withdraw from the territory of Transnistria its peacekeepers and an operational group of Russian troops, leaving Bender alone with Chisinau and Bucharest behind it.
