The President invited the PMR Government Chairman Alexander Martynov, the PMR Foreign Minister Vitaly Ignatiev and the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Head of the Operational Headquarters on Prevention of spread of the virus Ruslan Mova to discuss the issue of organizing uninterrupted food and medicine supplies to Pridnestrovie during the pandemic. They talked about the current state of affairs, the current level of communication in this direction, problems faced by the republic and the measures taken to solve them.
Vitaly Ignatiev informed about the facts of limitation of drug supplies. Pridnestrovian-Ukrainian border checkpoints are closed with the introduction of quarantine by Ukraine. In this regard, medicines go to the republic through Moldova. Last week, they managed to resolve the supply issue for two Pridnestrovian pharmaceutical companies. To date, six cars loaded with medicines are in the territory of the neighboring republic. The information requested by the Moldovan side was promptly provided, but the solution to the issue did not move off the ground. Pridnestrovie addressed both the Moldovan side and the OSCE Mission and the participants of the “Permanent Meeting ...” format with a request to assist in organizing uninterrupted supplies of medicines to Pridnestrovie, emphasizing the importance of this essentially humanitarian issue in the context of the participation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic in the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic. According to the PMR leadership, the introduction in the current situation of additional requirements and new administrative and bureaucratic restrictions is unacceptable.
The President keeps this issue under personal control.
