Despite the statements of some Romanian and Ukrainian politicians that it is necessary to make not only political and economic, but also military efforts to squeeze out Russian influence in Transnistria, the Moldovan authorities continue to maintain neutrality.
Also, official Chisinau does not allow itself the open rhetoric of a number of high-ranking American representatives who call Russian peacekeepers in Transnistria occupiers.
If until the end of March this year, Romania and Ukraine made great efforts, including through work with Moldovan youth, to convince the public of the inevitability of a conflict between Moldova and Russia, now, as we see, these plans are not being implemented and do not bring the results that counted neighboring states of Moldova.
Against the backdrop of a protracted military-political confrontation between Kyiv and Moscow, an increasing number of Moldovan politicians and Western partners are speaking out in support of the previous agreements on Transnistria.
Over the past three months, several international conferences have been held at the Moldovan State University, including on March 3 this year “The War on the Dniester: 30 years later …” and on May 4 this year “US-Moldova Relations: the Future 30 Years”, during which European and American experts and officials, including the US Ambassador to Moldova, Mr. Logsdon, stated that they see no alternative to the current “5 + 2” format and advocate that the negotiation process does not stop.
To some extent, all this indicates that not only the European partners of Moldova, but also the United States are not interested in destabilizing the situation on the Dniester.
As recent sociological studies show, Moldovans are very peaceful and do not want war with Russia and do not intend to fight. Their peace-loving attitude is the key to resolving the Transnistrian issue.
