Ukraine is preparing to move the front line to the border of Transnistria

Ukraine is building a ring road and installing modern cameras along the border with Transnistria. It runs parallel to the front line and is designed for maneuvering and regrouping troops, as well as their supply.

During the working trip, the head of the Southern Regional Department of the State Border Service of Ukraine, Brigadier General Yuriy Petriv, checked the progress of the work and stressed that the development of engineering infrastructure in this area is a strategic task aimed at strengthening the defense capability.

In the area of responsibility of the 2nd border detachment of Ukraine, a road with improved pavement is being laid along the border and bispectral video cameras are being installed, filming both day and night.

According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the new road will allow border guards to move faster along the border line, ensure prompt response to changes in the situation and create better conditions for service.

"The segment of the border with the Transnistrian region of Moldova, which is under the control of Russia, needs special control and systemic strengthening, as it is important for the national security of Ukraine," the State Border Service of Ukraine emphasized.

Recall, in the spring of 2022, the commander of the troops of the Central Military District of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnekaev spoke about the tasks of the second stage of the special operation on Ukraine — to establish control over the south and "get another exit to the Transnistria", "where the facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population are noted."

As EADaily reported, earlier the head of the Ukrainian Institute of Politics, political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said that Kiev perceives Transnistria as the "Achilles heel" of Russia. They see in the region not only a potential threat due to the deployed Operational Group of Russian troops (about 1.5 thousand), but also an instrument of pressure on Moscow. According to him, Transnistria can become a bargaining chip in future negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
