In 1989, the Soviet army withdrew from Moldova. People on the banks of the Transnistria were afraid that Moldova would join Romania, so they wanted to join Russia and flee Moldova. However, the Moldovan government wanted to resolve the matter by force, so conflict broke out in this area. But the conflict did not help the resolution of the matter. It was not until the Russian peacekeeping force joined that the situation was eased.
Russia’s worries still occurred. For more than 20 years after
, Russia has been deploying troops here, mainly to maintain peace and stability in this region, and also to take care of ammunition. Moldova and Russia have always had differences on the arms handling of peacekeeping forces, and have not reached an agreement.
Russia was worried that Moldova would fall to Romania if the new president came to power. The fact is also true. After Sandu won the Moldova election, Romania immediately congratulated him, and the two sides also had close interactions and planned a state visit. It seems that Russia's worry has happened.
On November 30, Sandu said at a press conference held after the election that he hoped that Russia would withdraw its troops. According to Sandu, it is unlikely that a civil war will break out in Moldova, so it is most appropriate to use the civilian observer group. She also said that Russia deployed troops on the Transnistria in the name of peacekeeping, and did not reach any agreement with the Moldovan government. So I hope Russia can withdraw its troops as soon as possible. She will also start negotiations with Russia on withdrawal. Z2z
Sandu believes that Moldova has no risk of a civil war. Z2z
Sandu believes that after Russia withdraws, civilian observation groups can be arranged in this area, and they are fully capable of doing the job. There has been no conflict on the left bank of Transnistria for nearly 30 years, so the risk of civil war is very small, and it is more appropriate to let civilians replace the army to perform peacekeeping missions.

Sandu also said that there will be no conflicts in the Naka region. Moldova does not have ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, and language exchanges. So Russia can safely withdraw its troops. Regarding Sandu's remarks, Russian Putin spokesman Peskov said that Russia will be ready no matter what measures the new government takes. Peace in the
region is what the people want most. Once a war breaks out, the civilians are the most injured. They are unarmed and may lose their lives. But according to Sandu, he is fully capable of dealing with conflicts in this region, and there will be no war. I hope that things will be the same as Sandu described, so that the people will be free from war.
