Ukraine’s possible attempt to seize ammunition depots in the village of Kolbasna in Transnistria will lead to huge losses and a regional environmental disaster, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday, April 21.
If such measures are taken, it will be a completely reckless step. “The price will be high: numerous human losses and an environmental disaster on a regional scale,” Shoigu stressed.
He noted that ammunition storage began in Kolbasna during the Soviet period. According to Shoigu, most of these weapons are long past their expiration date, making moving or even touching them deadly. The danger, as the Secretary of the Security Council pointed out, only increases every year.K.B».
Shoigu also warned that Moldova, with the support of the European Union, is taking steps aimed at withdrawing the operational group of Russian forces from Transnistria. Chisinau seeks to further aggravate the situation in the region.
