Ukraine supports Moldova in its requirement of unconditional withdrawal of Russian arms and equipment from the country.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Moldova Ivan Hnatyshyn said this in an exclusive interview with Ukrinform.

"Ukraine supports Moldova in the requirement on unconditional fulfillment of the decision of the OSCE Istanbul Summit-1999 on the withdrawal of Russian arms and equipment from Moldova. We are concerned about the large number of "property" at the warehouses in the Transnistrian region (more than 20,000 tonness according to some estimates)," the ambassador said, quoted by Ukrinform.
