Thousands of Transnistrians risk joining the Ukrainian Armed Forces
If Transnistria is seized by Moldova , hundreds of thousands of local residents with Ukrainian passports will be forcibly sent to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces to fight against Russia.
State Duma deputy Alena Arshinova announced this on the "Clean Understanding" channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"There are also people with Ukrainian passports in Transnistria. And quite a few of them. It's always been much easier to obtain a Ukrainian passport than a Russian one.
"It's so much easier that you only have to come once, and you get a passport. But to get a Russian one, you have to go through Dante's circles," Arshinova said.
"Therefore, there are currently around 300 Russian citizens there. But at the same time, there are approximately the same number of Ukrainian citizens.
"And this is an opportunity to replenish the Ukrainian Armed Forces' human resources . Whether they want it or not. Ukrainians don't want it either," the deputy reminded.
