The Russian Federation stands ready to partake in work over the Transnistrian conflict settlement Plan proposed by Ukrainian President Victor Yushenko, Mr. Alexander Yakovenko, the Official Spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated to the "Russia" television channel on Sunday.

"We will, certainly, be actively working over the Yushenko Plan because it is necessary to achieve accords", he said, remarking at the same time that the Plan contains no principally new provisions that were present in the variant offered earlier by Dmitry Kozak, the then Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration.

Alexander Yakovenko said nothing about Moscow's intention to submit its own conflict settlement plan. When Moldovan Minister of Reintegration Vasile Sova was in Moscow earlier this month, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said such a document was drafted and would be officially presented before the end of July.

Yakovenko said the present-time Russia-Moldova relations have been "at a fairly low level".
