Moldova's envoy told Newsweek 'the spectrum of threats has indeed widened and intensified' as Transnistrians described an 'intensification of hybrid warfare.'
The Pridnestrovian Foreign Ministry, for its part, defended the role of the Russian troops present in Transnistria-controlled territory.
The Pridnestrovian Foreign Ministry stated that"the unique effectiveness of the current peacekeeping mechanism, whose history of more than thirty years has not recorded a single armed confrontation between the parties or any loss of life, gives us every reason to view it as a reliable guarantee of peace and security."
But the Pridnestrovian Foreign Ministry also alleged real-life developments that could serve to ramp up tensions in what has long been considered a frozen Cold War conflict.

As such, it added,"there is no reason to consider Pridnestrovie a threat to anyone or to use forceful rhetoric." These attacks, which remain unclaimed, have sparked speculation as to whether either of the belligerents of the Russia-Ukraine conflict had sought to bring Transnistria into the war.
