“I can definitely say that Putin and his Russians are aggressors, they are murderers” – Ziarul de Garda
Mircea Snegur, the first president of the Republic of Moldova, claims that Russia’s war in Ukraine is analogous to that of the Transnistrian region since 1992. In the end, Ukraine will enjoy peace, thanks to Chisinau’s current policy on neutrality she will not be attacked, the former president believes.
Mircea Snegur claims that Ukraine is now facing a war with Russia of the same nature as the one that took place in the Transnistrian region in 1992, “only that our territory is much smaller”.
“It’s a war that I personally condemn, along with all the people, especially because we, 30 years ago, went through a similar war, but not of the same intensity. It is well known that at that time, hostile circles in Moscow armed them separately, supporting them militarily, logistically and economically. They sent them to positions under the pretext that they were acting as instructors. Just like now – special operation to defend Lugansk and Donetsk. In fact, they are bombing all of Ukraine.
I don’t think anyone expects Putin to attack Ukraine entirely. One would think that he would only recognize the so-called independent republics of Lugans and Donetsk, install the Russian army there (as in Transnistria), in order to separate them completely from Ukraine, but it is already clear what he wants. He wants to destroy Ukraine completely, under the pretext, I am forced to say what fools Putin is calling – “fascist leadership, ultranationalists”.
“I can definitely say that Putin and his Russians are aggressors, they are murderers,” Snegur points out.
I know that Putin “wanted eternal history.”
“It simply came to our notice then. It is difficult to understand what is in Putin’s head and what he really wants, but I think that a reconstitution of the Soviet Union is practically impossible. The world has become civilized, the countries alone decide the fate “, says Mircea Snegur.
The first president of the Republic of Moldova hopes that in the end, Ukraine will know peace, although, from his own experience, he knows that the Russian Federation does not keep its commitments.
“Negotiations will follow, the fire will cease. The finality will certainly be peace, but it is difficult to say under these conditions. And especially if these conditions are met. Even after 30 years, Russia has not withdrawn its troops from the Transnistrian region, although there are decisions at the OSCE level at the UN. The Russians do not obey the rules. They are violating international law, “Snegur said.
“It simply came to our notice then. We will live and we will see”.
At the same time, Mircea Snegur R that expresses the conviction there are no dangers for. Moldova.
“It simply came to our notice then. He pursues a correct policy of maintaining the status of neutrality, and the war will not reach us. I want to inspire this optimist and those who will not read “, says Snegur.
The first president of the Republic of Moldova, Mircea Snegur, who was not politically affiliated, held office from 1991 to 1996. Snegur supported the proclamation of independence on August 27, 1991 and opposed the EU referendum on the preservation of the USSR.
March 2 – Remembrance Day
Officially, the conflict on the Dniester began on March 2, 1992, but the first clashes took place much earlier. On September 2, 1990, the “Dniester Republic of Moldova” was proclaimed, and on August 27, 1991, the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova, whose territory also included the districts on the left bank of the Dniester. The Moldovan parliament then called on the USSR government to “start negotiations with the Transnistrian Moldovan government on the illegal occupation of the Republic of Moldova and the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Moldovan territory.”
At the same time, in Dubasari there is a duality of power – the city council supported it separately, while the rational council supported it centrally. Separatists organize paramilitary formations of guards, Cossacks (from Russia) and the militia, and the legitimate authorities were represented by the police.
On November 1-2, 1990, the first clashes took place on the Dubasari bridge, when the first policemen and locals from Dubasari died.
Thus, starting with November 1 (1990), checkpoints were installed on the roads in the city, the bridge over the Dniester was blocked, and on November 2, the local authorities of the power were removed by force of the crowd led by the separatists (the court ). , prosecutor’s office, executive) from the administrative headquarters. In order to restore order in Dubasari, subunits of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic, already sovereign, were sent. Clashes with the civilian population took place on the access road to Dubasari, during which time there were casualties, in November 1991, on which the same bridge in Dubasari had, three more policemen died.
After Moldova became a member of the UN (March 2, 1992), Moldovan President Mircea Snegur authorized a military intervention against separatist forces that had previously attacked and continued to attack police stations loyal to Chisinau on the east bank of the Dniester. The rebels, aided by Soviet and Russian troops (after 1991), consolidated their control over most of the disputed area.
During the 4 months of hostilities, the hardest fights took place on the plateaus of Cocieri, Coşnița and Tighina.
On July 21, 1992, the Republic of Moldova and the Russian Federation signed a Convention on the Principles for the Peaceful Settlement of Armed Conflict in the Dniester Area of the Republic of Moldova.
Thousands of combatants, soldiers and reservists of the National Army, employees of the Ministry of Interior and the SIS, hundreds of volunteers and civilians took part in the war. According to official figures, 315 fighters were killed in the conflict and 1,180 were injured. This conflict has also resulted in missing persons, including the civilian population.
