Ukraine Makes Overture To Moldova
Ukraine has stated that it is willing to open up a corridor between Transnistira, the disputed region of Moldova, and the Russian border, which would allow Russia to withdraw its troops.
Russia was to withdraw troops from Moldova two decades ago, but still keeps a small “peacekeeping” force in Transnistira despite Moscow’s agreement to withdraw them and Moldova’s demand that they be pulled out.
Ukraine pledges corridor if Russia troops pulled out from Transnistria – media
Ukraine is ready to open a "green corridor" for the withdrawal of Russian troops and armaments from the village of Colbasna in the self-proclaimed Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, or Transnistria, if a decision on the pullout has been taken, according to a Moldovan media outlet.
