The politician noted that in modern conditions it is extremely important that the current peacekeeping operation continues, and its format is not subject to revision.

On July 19, Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov announced that Russia had minimized its military presence in the unrecognized Transnistrian region, where it conducts a peacekeeping operation and guards ammunition depots. The diplomat added that, in accordance with the decisions taken, the Russian Federation is pursuing a policy of reducing its military presence on the left bank of the Dniester.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on July 17 that the European Union (EU) and NATO were forcibly militarizing Moldova. According to Zakharova, Chisinau assured of its commitment to the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Transnistria, "however, it does not follow its position."
