Sources say that Russia is preparing to declare Transnistria and arrange another “Donbas scenario” there.
The Russian Federation aims to carry out a military invasion of Moldova. According to The Times, citing sources in Ukrainian intelligence, the aggressor country already has a clear plan of action in this regard.
According to preliminary information, Russia wants to implement in Moldova a scenario similar to the capture of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine.
“We believe that the Kremlin has already decided to invade Moldova. The fate of this country is very important. If the Russians begin to take control of its territory, we will become an easy target in military terms. There will be an existential threat to Ukraine. Russia may also recognize the independence of Transnistria, which will be a direct threat and violation of Moldova's territorial integrity. This will be a repetition of the “Donbas scenario”. Russia will start supplying a large number of weapons there, and later will want to join the region, “- said sources.
