About this Channel 24said Vladimir Thorik, an investigative journalist for Rise Moldova. He also noted that the Russian army in Transnistria is a task force of Russian troops belonging to the western district of the occupying troops.
What these military men are doing is they are erasing the ashes of Ukrainian cities. In fact, Moldovan citizens with a Russian passport are recruited into the Russian army for the war against Ukraine,” the journalist says.
We made a phone call to one of these phone numbers as part of the investigation, Volodymyr Tkhorik notes. They presented themselves as unemployed from the right bank of Moldova, under the control of the constitutional authorities – they were ready to accept us.
But there were two requirements :
- a military ID, which can be purchased from them for a bribe;
- Russian citizenship.
The invaders are ready to pay 600 dollars a month for “work” to those who are recruited in Transnistria. They are told that such soldiers will not go to war against Ukraine.
Absurd statements about Transnistria
The so-called Foreign Minister Vitaly Ignatiev recently spoke with Russian propagandists. As usual, it was not without absurdity. Ignatiev fantasized that Transnistria would seek independence, and then want to join Russia.
The Moldovan Bureau of Reintegration reacted to the “statement”.
“All international partners and constitutional authorities resolutely support the formula for a peaceful settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, while respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova within its internationally recognized borders,” the message says.
