Transnistria Lawmaker Opposes Russian Troop Withdrawal Until Conflict Resolved
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
A Transnistrian lawmaker has warned that Russian peacekeepers should not be withdrawn before the conflict is fully resolved. Andrey Safonov cited the 2006 referendum in which residents voted to keep Russian troops stationed in the breakaway region.
Safonov emphasized that the people of Transnistria still support the presence of Russian forces, arguing that their removal could destabilize the area. He urged authorities to consider the referendum’s outcome before making any changes to the security arrangement.
The statement comes amid ongoing discussions about the status of Russian troops in Transnistria, a self‑declared republic that declared independence from Moldova in 1990.
