Rusia își construiește motivele pentru un aventual atac asupra Republicii Moldova: Moscova va considera orice provocare armată împotriva Transnistriei un atac împotriva sa, a afirmat un diplomat rus

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikhail Galuzin, stated that any military provocation by Ukraine or Moldova against Transnistria would be seen as an attack on Russia. He emphasized that Moscow would use all available means to protect Russian citizens in the region. Despite the economic crisis in Transnistria and its dependence on Russian support, both Ukraine and Moldova have no plans for military intervention. Galuzin expressed concerns over Moldova's increasing cooperation with NATO and Ukraine, warning of severe consequences for any aggression against Transnistria, where over 200,000 Russian passport holders reside.
