Explosions in Transnistria have the 'signature' of Russian military intelligence, former Moldova defense minister says

CHISINAU, Moldova — Explosions reported in the Moldovan separatist region of Transnistria in the last 24 hours appear to be part of an effort by Russian intelligence to build the case for foreign intervention, Moldova's former defense minister told Insider.

Transnistria — a long sliver of land along Moldova's eastern border with Ukraine that's home to roughly 300,000 people, most of whom are Russian speakers — broke from the central government in 1992 with the assistance of the Russian military.

Around 1,500 Russian soldiers are stationed there today, ostensibly as part of a peacekeeping operation but also to guard a major ammunition depot.

Although leaders of the self-proclaimed republic have long expressed a desire to join Russia — Insider witnessed the Russian Federation's flags on government buildings during a recent trip there, and Moscow generously subsidizes the territory — they have also seemed eager to avoid being drawn into the war in Ukraine, having grown increasingly dependent on trade with Europe. Around a third of the population in Transnistria is ethnically Ukrainian, with the numbers having recently increased with an influx of refugees.

A “signature,” eh?

What more evidence could one possibly need?

Two explosive devices dropped from a drone. It is a real whodunnit. We know it was either Russia or Trump. /s

Ukraine for a month threatening to attack Transnistria and now it is finally a Russian false flag. LOL.

Why would Russia bomb its own assets, they don’t need an excuse at this point to activate their forces in Transnistria, after Putin takes Odessa they are likely heading there anyway. More likely NATO special ops, it’s the US who wants a reason to draw NATO forces into this.

Alexander explains Ukraine’s latest gamble, trying to draw the west further into the conflict. When it’s Yahoo News, always invert what they are saying. The left uses constant reversals and projection.

Austin said Ukraine to abstain from it, at least officially.

The Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation.

Alex Christoforou was explaining in his earlier update today how Blinken and Austin were moving the goalposts by misrepresenting what Pootie said about the Ukraine special operation.

Basically the usual neocon lies.

Do you ever rest. It’s really tedious. Just go back home.

What’s wrong is your undying support for Russia. I am not saying anyone has to support Ukraine, and I certainly think Biden is dancing on a thing line.

But, every fu$$King post you are excusing their actions. You are the Baghdad Bob of FR.

You really should go home and eat some borscht and give it a rest.

We all know a counterfeiter can produce a believable signature.   Ukrainian subterfuge no doubt can also.

Baghdad Bobs are Ukronazi cheerleaders. I am just trying to inject some reality to their sabbat.

Besides, Transnistria - which is barely a country - is already firmly in Russian control and is even more Russian-y than Russia. Well, more Soviet Union-y

Welcome to Transnistria, Comrade!
