The former US troops commander in Europe, General Ben Hodges, commented on the statement of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov “On Russophobia in Moldova and possible threats to the security of the Russian military in Transnistria.”
In an interview with the Ukrainian media, the ex-commander said, to Ukraine and Moldova, “It is time to solve the Transnistrian issue.”
“Perhaps it is time for Ukraine and Moldova to solve the Transnistrian issue. The Kremlin really cannot stop this at this stage,” said Hodges.
