If Russia intends to transfer its military aircraft to the territory of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic, Ukrainian air defense forces will shoot down such air targets.
This was reported to Ukrinform by the head of the Public Relations Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Bohdan Senyk.
"Ukrainian air defense forces will shoot down Russian warplanes and military cargo planes over the territory of Ukraine in case of any attempts to deploy them in Tiraspol," the official stressed.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on April 6, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the enemy was trying to improve the tactical situation in the South Buh area. It is possible that Russia might use the territory of self-proclaimed Transnistria as a springboard to support the offensive operation in this area. Meanwhile, the Tiraspol airfield is preparing to receive Russian military planes.
