The US State Department is aware of explosions that occurred Monday in Transnistria — the Russian-backed breakaway region inside Moldova — and “closely monitoring the situation,” spokesperson Ned Price said Tuesday, APA reports citing CNN.
“We reiterate the Moldovan government's call for calm in response to these incidents and we fully support as you have heard us say before, Moldova's territorial integrity and sovereignty, we respect its constitutionally guaranteed neutrality,” Price said at a State Department briefing.
“We don't know all of the details beyond regarding what transpired yesterday, but we do remain concerned about any potential attempts to escalate tensions,” he said.
“Moldova is a strong partner, we are working to make sure that they have what they need to respond to the regional consequences of Russia's aggression against Ukraine,” Price said.
