The Ukrainian authorities decided not to close the border with Moldova on the Transnistrian segment, but there will be instituted stricter baggage control. No other punitive measures against people and goods from the Transnistrian region will be taken, said Ukrainian Ambassador in Chisinau Serghii Pyroyhkov, quoted by IPN.

The Ukrainian diplomat stated that the Moldovan citizens can travel freely through Ukraine, even to Odessa to vacation, and assured that there is no danger of new conflicts in the given region.

Recently, the Supreme Rada recommended the Ukrainian Government to close the border crossing points at the frontier with Transnistria following the military conflicts in eastern Ukraine.
