Closer and closer to a new front: "Ukrainians are preparing an attack on Transnistria", say Russians - Pro-Russian protests in Moldova
The Kiev regime is preparing an armed provocation against Transnistria, the Russian Defense Ministry said on its Telegram channel, which Ria Novosti reported, and is expected to set the autonomous region of Moldova where Russian troops are deployed on fire!
"According to available information, in the near future, the Kiev regime is preparing an armed challenge against the Moldovan Republic of Transnistria, which will be carried out by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including with the participation of the Azov Nazi formation," the report says.
Obviously, such a plan gives Russia an excuse to intervene!
This information comes in conjunction with the provocations of the Moldovan leadership, which has actually called for Russian troops to be expelled from the region!
For its part, the Tass news agency is reporting statements by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, according to which the West has instructed the Moldovan government in Chisinau to stop all dealings with the Moscow-backed Transnistrian government.
That region, most of whose population is Russian, seceded in 1990 from mostly Romanian-speaking Moldova, and during the break-up of the USSR the following year Russian separatists fought government forces and after a brief civil war Transnistria became de facto self-governing.
In response to the Russian defence ministry's accusations, Moldova claimed that it was spreading false news. "State authorities do not confirm the information spread this morning by the Russian Defense Ministry," a message from the Chisinau government on its official Telegram account said.
