Transnistria against the withdrawal of Russian military from the republic and does not agree with the replacement of the contingent of Russian peacekeepers with someone else. This was stated by the leader of Transnistria Vadim Krasnoselsky. At a meeting with the head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev, he commented on the decision taken by the Moldovan parliament in July last year. "It was proposed to withdraw Russian troops from the territory of Transnistria and to replace the peacekeeping mission with any civil mission, incomprehensible policemen," helmets "and so on. For us, such a decision is completely unacceptable, "Krasnoselsky stressed.. Meanwhile, legislators in Chisinau are aggressive towards Moscow. The other day the speaker of the Moldovan parliament, Andrian Kandu, now acting as president of the republic, accused Russia of the occupation of Transdniestria and warned that he would demand on the international level for this compensation, estimated in billions of dollars. However, experts quickly figured out the speaker. As explained by the deputy director of the Institute of CIS countries Vladimir Zharikhin, and Kand, and the others perfectly understand that they will not get money. But the political points of the population can earn: "Everyone wants to get money from Russia. He did it for his voters, they say, see, I demanded money from Russia for you, "Zharikhin told Gazeta. RU". The matter is that in the autumn in Moldova there will pass the next parliamentary elections. The external course of Chisinau and the internal political situation depend on what forces will win. Now in the republic there is a serious crisis of power. In early January, the Constitutional Court of the country temporarily suspended the authority of the head of state Igor Dodon. Acting President declared himself the Speaker of Parliament, Andrian Candu, who adheres to openly pro-Western views. Recall that Moldova is a parliamentary republic, so the president there only representational functions. However, Dodon is not so dependent on lawmakers that his predecessors. It was first elected by popular vote, not put by parliament. Therefore, the legislators and the president have so many disagreements, in particular, with regard to Moscow and the West. But as for Transnistria, then Russia is absolutely legal, on the basis of an international mandate and with the consent of local residents.

If Moscow suddenly leaves, the fragile peace can quickly collapse, said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense and Security Committee Yury Shvytkin. "The Russian peacekeeping forces perform functions for their direct purpose - this is the prevention of armed conflict, which was once in Transnistria. And only the presence of Russian peacekeepers allows today to sustain even a fragile but peaceful coexistence in the region, "he stressed in an interview with RT, indicating that statements about the need to expel Russian peacekeepers from Transnistria are being made to please the West.
