Croatian press: "unfreezing" threatens the Transnistrian conflict

The second round of presidential elections in Moldova was won by Maia Sandu, former Moldovan prime minister and leader of the pro-Western Action and Solidarity party, ahead of incumbent head of state Igor Dodon. Before taking office, Sandu has already announced that the Russian peacekeepers must be withdrawn from Transnistria. The Croatian edition of Advance writes about this.

The newly elected President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, said that there should be no Russian peacekeepers in the "renegade region" Transnistria, they should be replaced by the OSCE civil observation mission. Moscow reacted negatively to this proposal.



Although the status of Transnistria has not been determined, in fact, it is an unrecognized but de facto independent republic with its own government, parliament, army, police, postal system, currency and car registration. The authorities adopted their own constitution, anthem and coat of arms. Russian peacekeepers have been in Transnistria since 1992. They not only monitor the borders of the unrecognized republic, but also guard the huge ammunition depots left over from the Soviet army. Now Sandu wants to withdraw them and replace them with an OSCE mission.

According to the newspaper, speaking about the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers, Sandu pursues two goals at once: to withdraw Transnistria from the Kremlin's influence and to resolve the issue of paying for Russian gas, for which Tiraspol does not want to pay.

If the Kremlin sees that Sandu is, on the one hand, serious in her intentions and, on the other, pragmatic, it will understand who she is dealing with and will be able to come to a reasonable compromise. If no compromise is found, the conflict cannot be avoided

- Advance approves.

Thus, given that there are Russian troops in Transnistria, and the US and the EU have a negative attitude towards Russia, the conflict frozen 28 years ago is threatened with a new "defrost", sums up the publication.

    For countries that have unresolved territorial disputes with neighbors and open conflicts, the path to NATO is closed for such countries. Accordingly, Russia benefits from the frozen conflicts in Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine.

      Romania is behind Moldova. Transnistria is not recognized by anyone. Russia is far away and there is no possibility in the event of a conflict to establish supplies. Moscow is in a difficult economic and political situation. This is a very dangerous configuration.

        I knew a tie-expert who wanted to replace the Russian peacekeepers. Sandu's activity will lead Moldova to defeat, but Russia does not have a land and sea corridor to Transnistria. Maya will stupidly substitute ukrofashikov and give new impetus to the project of Novorossiya.

There is not enough work for everyone in Moldova, and there are two big differences between working as a guest worker in Europe and an EU member.

              In addition, we must not forget that such an event is approaching, in the end of which Russia will no longer care WHAT route to go to help Transnistria, to unblock the CCM and choose where to hurry - to Kharkov or to Odessa.

              those. In your opinion, Crimeans who have relatives in Ukraine or are engaged in business related to Odessa (all textiles and shoes from Turkey go to Odessa) must hand over their passports?
              As a result: relatives cannot get to relatives, businessmen should wind up their business? I know examples when such businessmen reoriented themselves from Odessa to Moscow (shopping centers "Moscow", "Bird") and faced problems:
              1. Transport distance between Simferopol and Odessa is much less. than to Moscow and this leads to additional costs and to a natural increase in the price of the goods, which becomes too expensive for the buyer, the goods cease to be sold;
              2. The quality of a Turkish product is much better than a Chinese one and it sells better, and besides, it comes out cheaper than a Chinese one with such a long transport shoulder.
              In addition, the surrender / burning / tearing of Ukrainian passports by Crimeans means nothing for Ukraine. According to her laws, they are her citizens all the same. However, Crimeans cannot enter the territory of Ukraine with Russian passports. By the way, the Crimean sailors, according to the Ukrainian passport, could hire in Odessa on the ships of any country, but according to the Russian? Maybe it is necessary to create a normal legal basis for the work of Crimeans abroad, than to accuse them of self-interest? After all, to apply for a Sberbank (visa) card, go to Krasnodar, since local banks issue only "Mir". Aliexpress just banned me for a trip to Crimea (by iP). So who's to blame?

    "Thus, given that there are Russian troops in Transnistria, and the United States and EC have a negative attitude towards Russia "- Well, about the negativity on the part of the EU, it's certainly debatable, which is indisputable (despite the extension of the sanctions, the main driving force of which is the US-hegemon in that part of the land), since there are still healthier people there. So it began: "In the Bundestag, the representative of the "Alternative for Germany" Waldemar Gerdt called the anti-Russian sanctions a stupid decision. No, these are not pro-Russian slogans from people who are warmly disposed towards the Russian Federation. This is the dry logic and reason of pragmatic Europeans who are tired of senseless Russophobia. After all, ordinary people, the inhabitants of Germany, are the first to suffer. It is from the grandstands that they loudly declare that the sanctions will allegedly "punish" Russia. But in fact, based on clear figures and statistics, the EU countries "punish" themselves.
    While Russia is only getting stronger under the onslaught of endless stupid sanctions, Germany is "ringing all the bells" about a giant economic downturn after the EU followed the lead of the United States and launched an empty, groundless sanctions war against Russia.

    Sandu says what she should say, what her masters want to hear from her.
    The withdrawal of the Russian peacekeepers will open arms depots for Chisinau, and these are not only small arms and there are so many of them that it will be enough to unleash a third world war in Europe.
    Only one thing is not clear, where will this weapon go? Either to arm the armies of Romania, Moldova and Ukraine, or it will pour into the black market for weapons.
    In any case, Sandu herself does not understand that she can provoke a very capacious military conflict, or maybe she understands and pours oil on the fire so that it flares up again. It all depends on what party the puppeteers have prepared for her, to whose tune she dances so sweetly.
    She just does not understand that with the escalation of the conflict, she is destined for the role of a sacred victim, because at the trial she could not name her masters who controlled her political vector.

        It is enough just to take Odessa.

        will you take? For a long time? Remember Zhukov in 1946 - how did he come to Odessa? And now it's already 2-3 generations. including the inhabitants of Odessa, imprisoned for the war with Russia. And then - a real war with a foreign state! You won't get off with sanctions

          For this, hold on to yourself, but you don’t need me :: Odessa will be taken by Odessans, not Russians - read the commentators solidly, and not diagonally.
          You should have remembered Duke D. de Richelieu ... laughing

    In my opinion, the position of the Russian Federation on the link on the protection of weapons warehouses is rather shaky.
    Since this weapon was once delivered there, then it can be taken out. For this, it is already enough to agree. First, decide on the owner of the weapon. If this is the Russian Federation, then the terms and where and by what means of transport (railway, water, auto, air) are determined. If desired, and for the money of Modova (Romania / EU), there will be transport and transport corridors and security along the route.
    Only peacekeepers with a minimum of stock of weapons and closed supply corridors will remain.
    It will be possible to start restoring the integrity of Modova, i.e. a new war in Transnistria.
    Only in this chronological order.
    Because discussion of the export of ammunition, contracts, allocation of money, etc. it will take five years, it will take at least not less to export, and in such a time the power will change, and much more can happen in the world.

      Reasonable reasoning, but there is simply no time for this: the simple conclusion of an Agreement with Moldova on the supply of agricultural products in fantastic volumes for Moldovans will immediately force the Moldovan Government to agree to all the other conditions you proposed (this means no resistance from the Moldovan Armed Forces and the neutrality of Romania ).
      Odessa, however, can not be taken, it will be taken by the residents of Odessa themselves - it will be enough to fit to Nikolaev (or better to Akkerman) a pair of three large landing ships with weapons and ammunition vehicles on KamAZ trucks

        You don't know Odessans well ... Odessans are always there, where there is money and where you can snatch something. The only "plus" - they speak Russian, but with a terrible accent. Will they meet you our BDK ... Aha..s

    It seems that Gazprom supplies gas to all impoverished states. Even Moldovans are going to blackmail. Laughter and nothing more. Disconnect, defaulters, have you tried? Or is it only possible within our country?

    Russia may raise the issue of banning Moldovans from working on its territory in response to the unfriendly actions of the Moldovan leadership.
