Russia is not interested in destabilizing the situation in Moldova after the upcoming parliamentary election, Moldovan President Igor Dodon said in an exclusive interview with TASS.
"As for Russia, it is not interested in destabilizing the situation in our country, given complicated developments in Ukraine. It may create serious problems for Russia, including the risk of being involved in a new conflict because Russian peacekeepers are deployed to the unrecognized Transnistria, where there also are arms depots containing outdated munitions that Russian military servicemen are protecting," the Moldovan president pointed out. He added that he had recently had many contacts with officials from the European Union, Russia and the United States.
"Judging by what they told me, influential foreign players don’t want our country to become a new hotspot of tension," Dodon said.
