Kremlin translator: Russia plans to attack Ukraine via Transnistria dressed in full Uniforms.

Ah yeah. A country that is too busy trying to fight and push an invading army out of its Eastern flank can also manage to send said army to the west to invade a neighbouring country too, both of which happen to see their future as more aligned with the EU. Makes total sense 🙄 Wars are hard enough to fight, let alone on multiple fronts.

You look at Transistria or Transdniestria (or whatever it wants to call itself) and the only logical conclusion is it being corrupt. The one guy in charge was born in Russia (no doubt then he'd be pro-Russia).

Everything is provied by Sherriff, a company founded by an ex-KGB member, that company is pretty much the only company in existence there. It has a monopoly in a bunch of sectors. Putin sees it as a chance to create another Belarus.

There's a clip going around on Twitter of an allegedly 'Moldovian' crowd chanting 'Ruzziya' which is misrepresenative as all Russian propagandists are. As far as I'm aware, most of Moldova is on the side of Ukraine, while the government there is trying to deal with subversive attempts by Russia to destabilise the country. This is also concurrent with some other factions there anyway that would like to see Moldova also unify with Romania (which by default would also pull it into the EU and NATO).

How nice of you to begin an argument in bad faith by immediately deleting before a reply can be posted. You coward.

Ukraine has at least made an effort to fight corruption in that time. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/27/1151326940/ukraine-anti-corruption-efforts

But nah, let it get invaded by an even more corrupt neighbour like Russia (a country ran by an autocrat surrounded by billionaires that snatched the entire wealth of the nation in the 90s).

(Psst. Russia ranks way below Ukraine on this).

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 67%. (I'm a bot)


> The Ministry of Defence of Russia has published a statement about the Ukrainian government supposedly preparing provocations against the non-recognised Transnistria region.

> The Russian Ministry has declared that Ukraine is planning to use a staged offensive of Russian forces from the territory of Transnistria as "a reason for invasion".

> Russian President Vladimir Putin revoked a 2012 decree on Russia's foreign policy course that suggested that Russia would continue to actively search for ways to resolve the conflict in Transnistria with respect to Moldova's sovereignty, territorial integrity and neutral status.

Is there anything that doesn't provoke Russia? How is Ukraine helping Moldova to end the Russian invasion of Moldova a bad thing?

So what I have gathered is Russia is about to attack Transnistra. Funny how they tell on themselves with their blatant obvious lies...

There's about 1500 Russian soldiers stationed in Transnistria and around 5.5k Transnistrian soldier's who are basically equipped by Russia.

So around 7k men if Transnistria doesn't do mobilization.
