Residents of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) are grateful to Russia for the peacekeeping operation in the region and advocate its continuation. This was stated on July 29 by the head of the republic Vadim Krasnoselsky in an address on the occasion of the Day of the deployment of Russian peacekeeping forces in Transnistria.

The politician noted that in modern conditions it is extremely important that the current peacekeeping operation continues, and its format is not subject to revision.
