The request of the so-called "Transnistrian Moldovan Republic" (TMR) to Russia for protection from Moldova was not the result the Kremlin was expecting. This was stated by a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov.


He reminded that the rumors about TMR's request to join Russia were not confirmed, as previously stated by the GUR.


"Today, given the situation in the TMR, nothing has happened. Russia did not get the desired result. In this situation, their efforts, both political and informational, have failed," Yusov emphasized.


The GUR representative noted that an active disinformation campaign about Transnistria's plans to ask Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to join Russia indicates that "there was an interested party."


"When we talk about Moldova and Ukraine, it is clear who this party is," Yusov added.


He also noted that the Transnistrian deputies also appealed to European institutions. This was done "in a multi-vector style." Such an action is "an eloquent fact" in itself, Yusov said.


Earlier, we reported that the Transnistrian "deputies" will ask Russia for help today in connection with Moldova's actions.
