Foreign Ministry of Chisinau notes that assistance given to Transnistria by Russia is a propagandistic action
Moldovan authorities reject any attempt to speculate on the current situation in Transnistrian region of Moldova. The auto-isolation attempts of the region by the rime of Tiraspol were condemned by the international community, including Ukraine, EU, OSCE and USA, according to the report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration.
The attempt of the leaders of unrecognised Transnistrian republic to invoke the so-called „humanitarian crisis” is a propagandistic action, directed to mislead the local population and international community and to tension artificially the situation on Dniestre. Temporary de-blocking of the border, practised by the region’s administration for goods selective import, shows the political character of the actions of Transnistrian regime and lack of certain „blocking”, including the absence of any permissions for worsening the social-economic situation, according to statement.
„It is regrettable the fact that these pseudo argues of Tiraspol are accepted by certain influent groups of Russian Federation. The interpretations of these groups regarding the situation of Transnistrian region of Moldova are tendentious and against the population on Dniestre,” according to report.
Many regions of Russian Federation announced that they would allot humanitarian assistance to Transnistria, and a set of food goods and drugs of the region of Moscow sent on 22 March to Tiraspol. Moscow and Tiraspolul consider as „blockade of Transnistria” implementation on 3 March the new customs regime at Moldovan-Ukrainian border.
