This was stated by Dmytro Lekartsev, head of the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova, on Espreso TV.“We hear all kinds of reports and see online reactions that Russia is very angry, that Russia won’t forgive, that Sandu has won. But I hope everything remains peaceful and that nothing happens in Transnistria. Based on these elections, we can see that a large part of Transnistria’s residents live and work in Moldova. Even the 30% of votes gathered by the pro-European government show that Transnistria today may not be that opposed to joining the EU,” Lekartsev said.According to the head of the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova, Transnistrian businesses are already actively trading with the EU, selling most of their products to European markets.“Of course, they have their curators who tell them how to behave, but during these elections we didn’t see any sharp statements or provocations that could trigger conflicts.And now the situation is a bit different — the cold season is beginning, and Transnistria already faces certain problems with gas, electricity, and heating. Moldova, for its part, is ready to help and does so openly. So I don’t think they will want to cause trouble, as they risk losing that support,” Lekartsev added.In Moldova’s parliamentary elections, the pro-European PAS party (50%) defeated the pro-Russian bloc of Communists and Socialists (24%).
