The new Prime Minister of Moldova, Dorin Recean, said that Transnistria must be demilitarized and the Russian occupation contingent should be expelled from there. Tv8.md reports this.

He urged compatriots not to ignore the fact that there are "real threats of escalation of either military or hybrid operations" in Moldova.

"We must calibrate our defenses so that it would be tough for any aggressor to attack us," Rechan said.

According to him, "the left bank of the Dniester (Transnistria) should be demilitarized by evacuating Russian troops and demilitarizing local residents."

"We must achieve one fundamental thing - demilitarization. Everything else follows after that, and the economic and social integration of our citizens who are there is very important, but in the first place is demilitarization. It depends on many things, but at some point, it will be decided," the Moldovan prime minister said.

Recean also added that a hybrid war is going on in Moldova. Moscow is trying to seize democratic processes and change the European course of the country.

Note that Dorin Recean became the new head of the Moldovan government on Thursday, February 16.
