The head of the Odesa regional state administration said that the russian "contingent" in unrecognized Transnistria does not pose a threat to Ukraine, as Ukraine has built fortifications on the border and controls the entire border area.

The russian "contingent" in unrecognized Transnistria does not pose a threat to Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Odesa regional state administration, Oleh Kiper, in an interview with Glavkom, UNN reports.

Today we see no threats from Transnistria. We built fortifications on the border a long time ago. We monitor the entire border area

- He emphasized.

Recall

At the end of February, the so-called Transnistrian Moldovan Republic asked for protection from russia. Commenting on this, Kiper noted that the statements of the so-called "PMR" authorities did not mention Ukraine. At the same time, fake news is spreading on social media, which is escalating the situation.

Telegram channels picked up on Gagauzia, picked up on the "PMR", picked up on Moldova, and for some reason again put their problems on Ukraine. Do you understand why? All of this is for the benefit of someone to spread panic here, inside Ukraine, in our Odesa region

- He explains.

The head of the OVA also denied the possibility of Ukrainian troops entering the "PMR".

We are not going to be like the russians and invade the territory of another state. Today we are defending our country and we see how many victims we have suffered from the war, the morale of our people, and the great material losses we have

-  he noted.
