The State Tax Service of Ukraine commented on Transnistria's statement about shooting on the border with Ukraine

A representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine ( SBGSU), Andriy Demchenko, said this in a commentary for Suspilnyy.

Demchenko noted that the information about the shooting could be of a "provocative nature".

I am not aware of any incidents on the border with Moldova on the Transnistrian segment. Unusual situations have not been recorded by the border guards. The statement of the so-called Transnistrian-Moldovan Republic is rather provocative in nature, with the aim to accuse Ukraine of something, besides, we understand that this enclave has a pro-Russian orientation," Demchenko said.

We shall remind you that today the so-called Ministry of State Security of the Transnistrian-Moldovan Republic said that there had been an "incident involving the use of firearms" near the border with Ukraine. The ministry assured that after the incident on 7 January, two Transnistrian citizens were transferred to the territory of Ukraine.
