Residents of the unrecognized "Transnistrian Moldovan Republic" receive text messages on behalf of the Armed Forces and special services of Ukraine. They contain a warning about a "missile and artillery" strike on the territory of the "Transnistrian region".
This was reported in the Telegram by the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Censor.NET reports.
"The Security Service of Ukraine strongly recommends the evacuation of civilians to safer regions. We assure you that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not wish harm to civilians, but people who remain in the cities will be perceived as sabotage groups and will be eliminated without warning. At exactly 7 pm, rocket and artillery shelling of objects on the territory of the republic will be carried out," the SMS reads.
These reports are actively covered by Russian propaganda information resources.
"We note that the state of Ukraine has nothing to do with this and similar provocations. Such fakes and incidents, which are likely to take place on the territory of the Transnistrian region, are nothing more than another provocation of the Russian special services against Ukraine and Moldova," Intelligence said.
Russia has completely failed in recruiting mercenaries for war in Ukraine - in Transnistria [2 people came against plan of 15,000]
“Potential mercenaries refuse to fight for Putin’s interests in Ukraine.
Knowing the extreme unpopularity of the “special operation”, Putin decided not to do mass mobilization yet, but to start recruiting mercenaries.
And not in Russia, but in Abkhazia, Transnistria, South Ossetia. That is, where there is no pity for the “meat”.
Putin is ticked!
Putin’s recruiting of mercenaries for Ukraine war has failed despite his steady stream of propaganda
Exemplified that in Transnistria only 2 people came responded for his plan for 15,000 recruits!
if this all very true, and the russians are poised to strike a non-combatant territory, why is there silence from the U.N., or any peace monitoring organization?
i beieve that with each outreach from moscow, it is indicative of Putin’s haste to forge his legacy, before his heart gives out.
and in this haste, of course a legacy is being built, but of ignominy, of heroic standards.
as in G.O.T., that other Stark woman said, to a defeated enemy:
“ your name will disappear,
your house will disappear,
you will disappear.”
Putin’s family, after this will shrink away, and out of the limelight.
Who are you really?
Strange... Sounds like UKRAINE is about to attack Transnistria (if you believe in the source authenticity).
another reason why i love freepers
Again with the Trans stuff. Trans-this. Trans-that. I am so sick of Trannies.
They said Russia did hit Kramatorsk rail station, until it was proven to be a false flag.
there’s a trannie in the vehicle you drive... 😁
Whenever I hear the term “Gender Fluid”, I assume that is what you put in a “Tranny”.
censor and informnapalm are low quality high volume Ukrainian propaganda outlets. About as credible as Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw-Haw.
gender neutral shift juice is the term we use in my shop...
Good try with disclaimer, BUT You KNOW Russia is still considered to be responsible!
Putin tied to use multiple disinformation tactics! However in 2018, a Tochka-U missile was documented with a serial number (VG910865) by Russian military in Syria. [open source evidence from both Snizhne and Syria.]
Large amounts of footage emerged from the separatist-held towns of Khartsyzk, Zuhres, Shakhtyorsk, and Torez on 8 April showing several missile launches in the minutes preceding the Kramatorsk hit from areas south of the towns.
Continued Russian efforts to spread disinformation about the tragedy continued. A video clip broadcast on Russian state media and social media appeared with the BBC’s logo claiming Ukrainian responsibility for the missile strike on Kramatorsk railway station. HOWEVER, the BBC news network has clarified that IT DID NOT CREATE THE CLIP!!!
Russia’s Kramatorsk ‘Facts’ Versus the Evidence
April 14, 2022
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2022/04/14/russias-kramatorsk-facts-versus-the-evidence/
I guess what we are asked to believe is that Russia will arrange for an “incident” in Transnistria that looks like Ukraine killed some civilians there. Or that Ukraine will take some action that they can say was actually Russia. Or maybe Transnistria will just fire artillery straight up in the air and say, “you decide.”
This BS doesn’t pass any logical evaluation, but good enough for Daily Mail and bellingcat readers.
The cluster munitions were used and the boosters fell southwest from target.
How is it possible if the missile was fired from Torez?
At the same time, the Ukrainian missileers were squatting 110 km southwest near Dobropolye.
That alone is the killer of your version, let alone tons of circumstantial evidence.
Your speculation regarding the serial number of the missile is a flat out lie. It perfectly matches the batch used by Ukrainians on Donbas and Berdyansk prior to Kramatorsk attack.
Except all the “experts” on the Ukrainian media are mulling attack on Transnistria for a full month.
Don’t skim, re-read the article the article for all your answers.
1- “On the morning of April 8, at 10:13 am Kyiv time, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed in a Telegram post that it had carried out “air-based” missile strikes against materiel for Ukrainian military reserves arriving at Pokrovsk, Slovyansk and Barvinkove railway stations. In the minutes that followed, local Telegram channels in non-government controlled areas of the Donetsk region were flooded with footage of missile launches.
Less than 20 minutes later, reports emerged that Kramatorsk was under fire. By 10:44 am, Kamyshin announced on his Telegram channel that two missiles had struck the Kramatorsk railway station.
At 11:01 am Dmitry Steshin, a correspondent for the pro-Kremlin tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, posted a video to his Telegram channel adding that explosions had been heard 10 minutes prior at the Kramatorsk railway station, apparently targeted at a large group of Ukrainian soldiers. The fact that Steshin deleted the post shortly afterwards did not go unnoticed by journalists.”
2- “Social media images and videos as well as Russian news reports from 2021 show the country’s forces displaying Tochka-U launchers, while satellite imagery from February 2022 seems to depict military vehicles consistent with the appearance and dimensions of the launchers at a base in south-western Russia.
Experts Bellingcat spoke to also said that even though Russia has reportedly phased out the Tochka-U missile in recent years, that doesn’t render Russia’s stock of the weapons inoperable or mean they cannot still be deployed.
Amnesty International, meanwhile, stated that a Tochka-U missile was used by Russia in Donetsk on 24 February 2022.”
3- “It seems implausible that Steshin, widely known for his strongly pro-Russian positions, could have filmed the video himself in a city then under Ukrainian control. Nevertheless, the video he uploaded and the caption he added were widely shared by pro-Kremlin Telegram channels. As Russian independent news outlet MediaZona noted, these posts can still be found online.

An hour later, the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) denied any culpability. Its statement emphasised that the missile found in Kramatorsk was a Tochka-U — a type which it claimed Russia did not operate. Steshin also made this claim on his Twitter account, alleging that the Russian military had not used the Tochka-U for 30 years.”
4. “Open source evidence also indicates that Tochka-U missiles have been spotted on several occasions during the invasion of Ukraine.
According to the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT), a reporting partner of Bellingcat, a train loaded with Tochka-U launchers and loader vehicles (based on the BAZ 5921 and 5922 chasses, respectively) moved from Homyel in Belarus to the Russian city of Belgorod in late March. CIT cited a March 30 video which was posted to Twitter by the prominent user GirkinGirkin, showing the launchers being transported by train.
Moreover, in late March this year, a train carrying Tochka-U missile launchers was filmed in Gomel, Belarus.
The launchers’s V markings indicate they are Russian, as we have not seen any Belarusian vehicles with such markings.https://t.co/KCCIeH1b4w pic.twitter.com/ifcOT3UZZn

This would be in line with the ongoing Russian retreat from the Kyiv front and consolidation in the east. The vehicles were marked with ‘V’ tactical marks, which are used by the Russian armed forces involved in the war against Ukraine. The Belarusian military, which has not formally entered the war, is not known to use these markings.
The Hajun Project, a group of anonymous Belarusian researchers, posted images of these same vehicles on Twitter on March 18.”
5. Soviet Serial Number
“Another claim circulating on pro-Russian Telegram groups and Twitter was that the serial number visible on the missile wreckage southwest of the station building was allegedly in the same range as missiles used by the Ukrainian military.
While serial number ranges ‘might’ be useful to determine ownership of other weapons, this does not appear to be the case for Tochka-U missiles. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence told Bellingcat in email correspondence that the missiles were manufactured within Soviet Russia and delivered to storage bases, arsenals, and missile brigades across the USSR. To prove this point, they added that a Tochka-U missile with the NUMBER VG910840 was used by Ukraine in 2014, landing in the town of Snizhne, while also pointing out that another was documented FOUR YEARS LATER in Syria (Russia military backed President Bashar al Assad) with a serial number JUST 25 DIGITS HIGHER (VG910865).
This appears to match open source evidence from both Snizhne and Syria.
