You're reading: Peskov: Putin aware of Transnistria’s request on independence recognition

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been informed about Transdniestria's request on recognizing its independence, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

“The dates by which the address should be considered are not known yet,” Peskov said in an interview with the Russian News Service.

He said he was unaware of the channels through which the request from the Transdniestrian Supreme Council had reached the president.

Members of the Supreme Council of Transdniestria had adopted a request on Wednesday addressed to the UN, the Organization for Co-operation and Security in Europe (OSCE), and the Russian authorities on recognizing the independence of the self-proclaimed Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic.
