The position of both Pridnestrovie and Ukraine remains unchanged in terms of the desire to maintain peace and continue the civilized negotiation process. Vadim Krasnoselsky emphasized that there remains a need for dialogue in conditions of forced stagnation of the “5+2” format, noting the constant openness to interaction with the Moldovan side at the highest level in the “1+1” format. Paun Rohovei noted that Ukraine supports the settlement of the Pridnestrovian conflict through peaceful diplomatic means and has been and will remain an active participant in the settlement process.
The interlocutors agreed that numerous problematic issues of a humanitarian nature arising within the framework of the Moldovan-Pridnestrovian settlement should be resolved as a matter of priority for the benefit of people on both banks of the Dniester without politicization. People's interests are the cornerstone of diplomatic efforts.

Vadim Krasnoselsky recalled at the same time that regular consular support is important for this category as well as for almost one hundred thousand Ukrainian citizens permanently residing in the republic.
