The so-called “Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic” announced the preparation of a terrorist attack against a local official, whose name was not released. In the center of the capital of the unrecognized republic, the city of Tiraspol, a Land Rover car filled with explosives was allegedly supposed to explode.

SBU reaction

In the SBU, this statement of representatives of the so-called “Ministry of State Security” of the fake “Pridnestrovian People's Republic”, as well as any of their other statements, is asked to be considered solely as a provocation staged by the Kremlin.

“The Security Service of Ukraine urges not to take nonsense seriously, the dissemination of which is seen as a clear goal of Russia – to undermine the situation in the territory that is actually occupied and controlled by it, blaming our state for this,” the message says.

The SBU emphasized that lies and provocations are one of the types of weapons actively used by the Russian Federation.

Comment of the Moldovan authorities

Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said he had no information about the preparation of a “terrorist attack” in Transnistria, NewsMaker reports.

“We have no confirmation. It is important that there is a stable situation in Moldova, peace and stability in the region. The Reintegration Bureau manages to maintain peace and stability on the left bank of the Dniester. There is no danger of escalation, there are no problems in this area,” the Moldovan prime minister said.

Recall that Russia does not leave attempts to destabilize the situation in Moldova and the occupied Transnistria. Recently, the statement of the Russians about the so-called “radioactive provocation”, which Ukraine is allegedly preparing in Transnistria, was called a “lie” in Moldova.
