Ukraine starts excavating 450-km trench on Transdniestria’s border with Moldova

ODESSA, July 26, /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine has started excavating a 450-kilometre trench in Transdniestria near the border neighbouring Moldova, an official of Ukraine’s Border Guard Service Vladimir Kachanovetsky said on Saturday.

“The trench is being excavated around-the-clock for preventing the movement of heavy hardware, as well as of contraband cargoes, he said.

In March 2014 Transdniestria accused Ukraine of isolating the self-proclaimed republic. Ukraine considers such accusations groundless.
