It is important for the occupiers today to create a “land corridor” to “inflate” Transnistria with weapons. But the Armed Forces are fiercely resisting in southern Ukraine.
The Kremlin has a clear plan for invasion to Moldova , which is another confirmation that Ukraine is just a springboard for Russia, the aggressor does not plan to stop. Sources in Channel 24's counterintelligence say the occupiers' likely success could lead to the opening of a new “second front” in the Southwest.

Russian aircraft may be shot down by Ukrainian air defense “, – explains the intelligence.

According to counterintelligence, racists may try to land in the Belgorod-Dniester and Saratov districts of Odessa region. areas just helped to complicate the connection between them.
“ The date of Russia's invasion of Moldova may be May 9 or one of the coming days. On Victory Day, Putin may declare Russia's recognition of Transnistria's independence. Russian special services may plan to land in Tiraspol at the same time as organizing riots and protests in Chisinau, “the counterintelligence notes.
