Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday said tensions in Moldova’s breakaway region of Transnistria were dangerous for the region, after pro-Russian rebel officials there appealed to Russia for “protection”.
“The problem of Moldova and Transnistria is not a new one and the threat of Russian intervention or at least some provocation there is something permanent. I am not surprised. But it shows how dangerous the situation is not only for Ukraine,” Tusk told reporters.
