Transnistria officially rejected Dodon's idea of unification
Transnistria officially rejected the idea of the new Moldovan President Igor Dodon to unite and return to the control of Chisinau.
PMR leader Vadim Krasnoselsky stated this in an interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
According to him, Dodon must give a legal assessment of the 1992 war.

“Imagine two families living next to each other. The husband from one came to the other, killed everyone there except his wife (a stranger), after which he invited her to unite and live together. Is this possible? So it is with us.
Pridnestrovians, if the Moldovan authorities repent for the bloody events of 1992, can restore normal good neighborly relations. But nothing more. There is no talk of unification with Moldova.
But we are ready for dialogue with Chisinau on issues that concern the lives of the population on both banks of the Dniester. The Moldovan authorities, including Igor Dodon, do not need to hope that Moscow will hand over Transnistria to Chisinau: 220 thousand Russian citizens live here. Moscow will never surrender them, as Dmitry Medvedev, as well as President Vladimir Putin, spoke about during his presidency,” said Vadim Krasnoselsky.
The new Moldovan President Igor Dodon won the elections thanks to pro-Russian slogans. However, after coming to power, Dodon supported the pro-Western parties that initiated the blockade of the PMR on the issue of the need to induce Transnistria to unify.
“We had a trilateral meeting in February, we communicated, we have different positions on many things, but we agreed that let’s have a common position on the principled position of unifying the country, solving the Transnistrian problem,” Dodon said recently.
Transnistria has officially rejected Dodon's unification idea.
