Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich said that the Russian troops stationed in the unrecognized Transnistria are not capable of capturing Chisinau, but Moldova may still be in big trouble. Therefore, the state should turn to Romania and Ukraine for help.
Moldova is the closest neighbor of Ukraine, whose fate is far from indifferent to us, said Arestovich.
The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office told about this in a conversation with Russian human rights activist Mark Feygin on April 26.
“Today they (Russian troops – ed.) give us they hit the bridge, which is on the Dniester estuary, obviously with the desire to stop our ability to transfer troops there. So, what should we assume? That they can crawl and try to organize some kind of landing operation there, organizing a terrible one with a direct run in Pridnestrovie,” Arestovich said.
He added that the main thing for Ukraine in this situation is the understanding that Russia has added more one operational direction.
Feigin asked the adviser to the head of the OP if the Russian troops located in the unrecognized Transnistria were capable of capturing Chisinau and how quickly?
“No, where to capture Chisinau? Well, there are five to seven thousand there. Moldova can be in very big trouble. And the best thing that Moldova can do in this sense, it seems to me, is to turn to Ukraine and Romania for help.(…) The fact that the Romanians are a people close to them and will want to intercede … And Romania is a NATO country, an EU country. It can be quite fun here,” Arestovich said.
“Well, we also need to understand that Moldova is the closest neighbor, whose fate we are far from indifferent to. We have always stood with the Moldovan people, we stand and we will stand. Therefore, they can turn to us for help,” added the adviser to the head of the presidential office.
“We can handle it,” he also answered the question of how much forces Ukraine would need to capture Tiraspol.
Recall that on April 25, in the Transnistrian Tiraspol, explosions were heard near the so-called Ministry of State Security of the unrecognized republic.
And on April 26, unknown people blew up a radio center in the unrecognized Transnistria. As a result, two of the most powerful antennas, which broadcast on Russian radio.
Ukrainian intelligence found out that these explosions were a planned provocation by the special services of the Russian Federation.However, the so-called “authority” of the unrecognized republic, together with Russia, accused Ukraine of provocations.
