(Sputniknews [pro-Russian])
--- Ukraine continues to
mass troops and heavy weapons on the border with Transnistria on the pretext
that the self-proclaimed republic may launch a military campaign against Ukraine ,
Russian media reported on Saturday.
“It looks
like the Kiev authorities want to picture themselves
as encircled by enemies, ready to attack,” a representative
of the Transnistrian KGB told Russia’s Zvezda TV channel.
“That we may have a
war here tomorrow is hard to say, but we are not ruling out a
Ukrainian provocation either…They could use for this purpose one
of their many small private armies which refuse to take any orders
from Kiev ,”
the official added.
On June 22, the
deputy foreign minister of the Transnistrian
Republic , Vitaly Ignatyev, said that Ukraine was moving its troops towards the
borders of the self-proclaimed republic, sandwiched between Ukraine and Moldova .
“The situation here
is very bad… Economic production is going down, foreign trade is shrinking, the
security situation is equally alarming with our Moldovan partners holding
military drills with NATO and the Ukrainian pressure mounting every day,”
Ignatyev said.
He also mentioned
the curbs Kiev has imposed on the transit
of Transnistrian nationals and citizens of Russia , almost
200,000 of whom currently live in Transnistria.
“They haven’t been
able to travel to Russia
via Ukraine
for more than a year now. They have to move across Moldova ,
but Chisinau is creating problems too, along with economic
sanctions,” Ignatyev added.
The newly appointed
governor of Ukraine ’s Odessa region Mikheil Saakashvili earlier announced plans
to reinforce Ukraine ’s
border with Transnistria.
"We have two
major tasks — to reinforce the border and curb corruption. Drug and
weapons trafficking across this border means nothing good,"
Saakashvili told a news conference in Odessa .
He also blamed the
Transnistrian authorities of destabilizing the situation in Ukraine .
