I thank the ambassadors for their briefings, which have been informative so far. Like everyone else, I have been following the invasion and looking at it geographically. Palanca, which my colleagues visited, is close to the sea and not far from the southern tip of Transnistria. In the context of Transnistria, what are Mrs. Miculet's concerns if the invasion continues? Transnistria goes three quarters of the way up the border between Moldova and Ukraine. If a corridor connects southern Transnistria to Odessa, Russia can move both east and west. Will Mrs. Miculet speak about defending in the case of such an eventuality? It would be easy for Russia to move east or west from Transnistria if it becomes connected to Russia.
