Russia has established a mobile block-containers in Transnistria for duty peacekeepers, said the head of the press service of the Western military district of Russia, Colonel Oleg Kochetkov.
"All containers are made of special materials with enhanced fire-proof, water-repellent and insulating properties.

Kochetkov said that for All the time of service of the Russian peacekeepers have prevented the escalation of the conflict. Transnistria, 60% of the inhabitants are Russians and Ukrainians sought to secede from Moldova even before the destruction of the USSR, fearing that the wave of nationalism Moldova will join Romania. In 1992, after the failed attempt of the authorities of Moldova the power to solve the problem, Transnistria was in fact beyond the control of the Chisinau area. In September last year the Minister of foreign Affairs of Moldova Natalia Gherman from the rostrum of the UN General Assembly said that the Russian Federation must withdraw its peacekeepers from Transnistria, and they will be replaced by an International civilian mission. However, Moscow considers attempts by Moldova and Ukraine of the extrusion from Transnistria Russian peacekeepers unfriendly shares, undermining the foundations of the peacekeeping operation. In April, commander of the Western military district of Russia, Colonel General Anatoly Sidorov said that the supply of the group of Russian forces in Transnistria was made difficult due to the actions of Chisinau to Tiraspol in connection with the situation in Ukraine.
