Russia Should Not Be Distracted by the Transnistria Issue, the West's Goal Is Not Tiraspol

Moldova and Transnistria Have Been Incorporated Into the Western Plan to Seize Odessa and Nikolaev

Ukraine and Romania signed a strategic partnership statement involving the interests of Moldova, Transnistria, and the Black Sea region.

The text of the statement said: "The parties to the agreement will support efforts to achieve a lasting political solution to the Transnistria issue, fully respect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within internationally recognized borders, and not harm the process of Moldova's European integration."

Notably, this document, which primarily concerns Chișinău and Tiraspol, was signed without either party being present.

Evidently, Kyiv has neither the time nor the capacity to solve its own problems but instead is interfering in the affairs of Moldova, Transnistria, Iran, and other regions. However, negotiations between Moldova and Transnistria have effectively frozen.

President of the Republic of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, said in early March: "Contact between experts and negotiators is minimal and has yielded no tangible results. The Moldovan representatives refuse to sign any agreements with Transnistria, including purely humanitarian ones."

According to him, Chișinău even rejected a declaration for the peaceful resolution of the conflict proposed by Tiraspol. He also believes that the resolution of the Transnistria issue can only be based on dialogue and take into account the wishes of the local population. However, the Moldovan authorities have a completely different understanding of peace, and they have published their own plan.

A source from Russia's security agencies stated: "The Chișinău authorities proposed establishing an international government, obviously led by Kyiv representatives, responsible for the reintegration of the region."

This source believes that the plan is likely to have been developed by Moldova's Ukrainian allies, who "have long harbored territorial ambitions regarding the left bank of the Dnieper." Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the core content of the plan is "withdrawal of Russian peacekeeping forces."

Dmitry Soyn, a member of the fifth parliament of the Republic of Transnistria, a veteran of the special forces, and a sociologist, pointed out that the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, and her administration maintain direct contact with Bucharest, Brussels, and Strasbourg.

— In short, Chișinău is merely following others' will. The current regime is actively turning Moldova into a logistics base for NATO.

Romania has now become a NATO hub, with the largest airbase, a large military cluster, and an independent Southern Command of NATO located within its territory. These facilities are already beyond Romania's capacity and must expand outward; Moldova is an ideal choice.

Last year, Romania, Moldova's president, and Zelenskyy met in Odessa and signed a trilateral cooperation agreement. In my view, the core objective of this event is: Moldova is a convenient transit country for transferring troops and supplies to Ukraine.

Because the southern part of Ukraine, directly adjacent to Romania, has been struck by us, bridges have been destroyed, and the logistics system is basically paralyzed. Moldova's logistics infrastructure is intact, and it has a long border with Ukraine. The only obstacle is Transnistria.

In my opinion, this series of events has entered its final stage: Moldova has finally decided to leave the CIS, the pressure on Gagauzia has almost destroyed the political structure of this autonomous region, the pressure on Tiraspol has been continuously increasing, almost undermining it, and a so-called 14-page fake solution has been introduced, even without guaranteeing the autonomy of Transnistria.

This indicates that, from a global perspective, all of this is incorporated into the EU's concept of transitioning from a political and economic group to a military-political group.

Therefore, the meeting in Romania did not require Sandu's participation. She has already made all the decisions, following this policy line. They do not consider Transnistria or invite it to participate because, in their view, the way to resolve the issue is to eliminate the status of Transnistria as a state and actually occupy the region.

"Freedom News": So, is Kyiv and Bucharest still pushing Chișinău to take military action against Tiraspol?

— Definitely. In my view, a combination may occur: Chișinău itself is unable to launch a lightning war in the direction of Transnistria due to insufficient forces, but it can use the name of Chișinău, allowing Romanian forces to intervene (language and people are similar), changing uniforms, and then acting in the direction of Transnistria and Gagauzia. I believe this form of military pressure is feasible.

Additionally, Chișinău continues to receive external encouragement and receives large sums of money for military modernization. Recently, it was reported that the Moldovan army is shifting towards NATO weapon standards, becoming part of the European-Atlantic military system.

"Freedom News": What is the influence of Brussels, London, NATO, and the entire West on the current situation?

— They are not exerting influence but directly controlling everything, with everything under manual control. Looking at it now, both Jönns and Sandu in Bucharest and the current Moldovan government are part of the Soros camp. Their officials and administrative teams are executors of European globalization, having received comprehensive training to serve the radical anti-Russian faction within European globalization.

Zelenskyy may not have participated in Soros' training program, as he was busy with his acting career before, but he was quickly integrated. His team consists of personnel trained by Western programs, so we see this alliance strictly following instructions from the EU and NATO headquarters.

"Freedom News": Zelenskyy is already in a difficult position on the front lines, in Europe, and in the United States. Why is he now getting involved in this matter?

— His task is to bring as many external actors as possible into his risky plans, including Romania. Now, any international contact is crucial for him. He needs to maintain attention continuously through meetings and signing documents. This is the core part of his image and political ideology.

"Freedom News": The document mentions control over the Black Sea and the Azov Sea. Considering the expansion of the NATO bases in Romania, is this something that Bucharest, Kyiv, and NATO are trying to create additional trouble for us, possibly even occupying Odessa and Nikolaev?

— My personal view is as follows: The goal of the European-Atlantic alliance is to make Russia's presence in the Black Sea unbearable. They will use various means to attack Russian ships, bases, and all kinds of loading and unloading operations.

We see daily attacks by drones and other means, and such actions are constantly escalating, now beginning to spread to the Mediterranean region.

They want to create this so-called unbearable environment, forcing Moscow to compromise on the Ukraine issue.

For the West, Odessa and Nikolaev are fortress cities symbolizing their presence and hegemony along the Black Sea. The deployment of NATO international forces in these two cities is just a matter of time. The number, composition, and armaments of the forces have already been agreed upon, awaiting the right opportunity.

Moldova is crucial here, as this force needs access and supply routes, and the logistics system in southern Ukraine has been destroyed, so it must rely on Moldova.
