Război și pace

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the impact of the Moldovan-Russian agreement of 21 July 1992 on the principles governing the armed conflict in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova. This interstate political-legal act signed by Russian President Boris Yeltsin and President of the Republic of Moldova Mircea Snegur ensured the stopping of bloodshed in the war for the defense of the independence and territorial integrity of our state and the creation of the conditions for settling the Transnistrian conflict peaceful. The author of the article argues that the positive effect of the Agreement is that due to the political will of the leadership of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova, the Unified Control Commission and the Military Command of the Tripartite Peacekeeping Forces (Russian, Moldavian and Transnistrian) disengaging the armed forces involved in the conflict, stopping military violence, creating the security zones along the Dniester River and in the city of Bender, and proceeding to liquidate the consequences of the war. Although the provisions of the Moldovan-Russian Agreement were made within 3 months of signing, until now the final settlement of the dispute has not been ensured. The Russian Federation being disinterested in helping to resolve the peaceful armed conflict, turned its peacekeepers into military forces supporting the separatist regime, and the Republic of Moldova is unable to ensure the withdrawal of its Russian army, illegally deployed on its territory the territory of the Republic of Moldova and the replacement of Russian peacekeepers with other peacekeeping forces. For the final settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, the author of the publication submits some proposals to the authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
