Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili says that she is “very concerned” with the developments in Transnistria,” expressing “full solidarity” with President Maia Sandu and all of Moldova.
“Any attempt to destabilize more of Europe is a risk for all of us,” Zourabichvili tweeted late yesterday.
Transnistria, which is currently controlled by pro-Russian separatists and permanently hosts 1,500 Russian troops as well as a large arms depot, borders western Ukraine.
On Tuesday morning, local authorities said two antennas which carried Russian radio broadcasts were blown up, while on Monday unidentified attackers shelled the region’s state security ministry in Tiraspol with a hand grenade launcher.
Sandu claimed that certain unnamed “forces inside Transnistria” were in “favor of war” and were interested in destabilizing the situation in the region.
