Moldova dismissed an accusation by Russia's defence ministry on Thursday that Ukraine planned to invade the breakaway Moldovan region of Transdniestria after staging a false flag operation, and called for calm.

The defence ministry said the purported plan by Ukraine - which borders Moldova - posed "a direct threat" to Russian troops in the Russian-speaking region.

"The armed forces of the Russian Federation will adequately respond to the impending provocation of the Ukrainian side," it said in a statement. It added that Ukraine planned to stage an attack by purported Russian forces from Transdniestria as a pretext for the invasion.

This very confusing reporting means to say…Ukrainian forces ( AZOV) dressed as Russian troops are reported to be planning a false flag attack from Transnistria into Moldova. Moldova will call this a coup attempt and request that Ukraine (with likely NATO backing) invade Transnistria…..which has a huge stockpile of Soviet era ammo and weapons now lightly guarded by just under 2.000 Russian troops.

Uke forces are reportedly accumulating near the border for this scheme, a blatant move by Ukraine ( and prob NATO planners) to widen the war and portray the Russians as expansionist invaders.

Zelensky thoughtfully shared Ukrainian “ intelligence” about this supposed Russian plan to the new PM of Moldova..intelligence probably written in London

And this is what we are backing.

The more I learn about this cobbled together group of countries the more convinced I am that we need to mind our own business.

Ivan, I’d like to give you the strategic communications to show Russian propaganda, but most people with working brains are used to it, since they invaded Ukraine.

The double secret probation information is also in one of the downed spy balloons, you can trek out to acquire that double secret intelligence.

“Russian propaganda is working OT this week.”

That may explain the slack activity of the Russia shills over the last few hours: They have been given new instructions.

I was unaware that Ireland was involved in any way.

President Vladimir Putin revoked on Tuesday a 2012 decree that in part underpinned Moldova’s sovereignty in resolving the future of the Transdniestria region - a Moscow-backed separatist region which borders Ukraine and where Russia keeps troops.

The decree, which included a Moldova component, outlined Russia’s foreign policy 11 years ago which assumed Moscow’s closer relations with the European Union and the United States.

This thread is about Moldova, Transdniestria and that cobbled-together s’hole, THE Ukraine. Stay focused

“This thread is about Moldova, Transdniestria and that cobbled-together s’hole, THE Ukraine. Stay focused.”

Yeah, but you said, “...we need to mind our own business.”

The “we” you referenced, as well as the “our,” could only apply to you and your associates or you and your country.

Given the fact that your home page displays the flag of Ireland, and not the United States or any other country; and your posting history shows no affiliation with or allegiance to the United States, or any other country — with the possible exception of Russia — logic would suggest that “you” and “our” referred to you and Ireland.

With the possible exception of Russia. You purposefully say THE Ukraine, which is standard fare of Russians who do not recognize Ukraine as an independent and sovereign country.

So, a logical conclusion would be that you are from Ireland or from Russia. But, I don’t think Russia would admit it if you were Russian, because you’d be an embarrassment to them — though useful for their purposes. In other words, to Russia you’d be just another nameless useful idiot.

You think the Ukrainian armed forces are called AZOV?

That is the unit mentioned in the Russian intel reporting

It’s logical, given their training, clandestine ops experience, and fanatical dedication to Kiev’s white nationalist regime

The Reuters article doesn’t mention that small group, and it is silly to call the Ukrainian armed forces AZOV.

If you want “white nationalism” listen to Putin’s racial talk.
