Deputy Prime Minister, head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova Nikolai Popescu called on Russia to withdraw its military from Transnistria. He wrote about this on his Facebook page (a social network banned in Russia; owned by the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned).

“We regard today's statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation as provocative and reaffirm the need for an unconditional and transparent withdrawal of the Russian military, as well as ammunition from the warehouses of Kolbasne from the territory of the Republic of Moldova,” the politician said.

He also refuted the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense about a provocation being prepared against Pridnestrovie.
