Separatists from unrecognized Transnistria are planning an appeal to Vladimir Putin. So far we are talking about the weakening of the situation in Moldova, but there are signals for Ukraine as well. About this 24 Channelsaid political scientist Oleg Lisny, noting that this situation should not yet be perceived as a threat to Ukraine. Even at the beginning of a full-scale war, there were thoughts to destroy this Russian enclave in Moldova. But it is worth remembering that Transnistria is the territory of Moldova. If such a request had ever been made there, the destruction of the occupiers in this region would have occurred very quickly. They do not have a large number Air defense, no new weapons. Yes, there are warehouses in Kolbasnaya. But this is ala 90s. They do not have a regular army that could withstand the army that has been fighting for 10 years. But such a confrontation is still purely hypothetical,” Lisny said. As the political scientist noted, such a step by local separatists is an attempt to undermine the situation in Moldova. They need the country to be afraid to take this region seriously. Such decisions are used to rock the situation in Moldova. So that they would be afraid there. Because the conventional confrontation between Ukraine and Transnistria is one thing; but Moldova – Transnistria – there may be nuances there. And this is well understood in Moldova. Because their army also hasn’t fought for a long time and is not in the best condition,” explained Lisny. Despite this, it is worth understanding that Putin is not guided by logic. He may well decide to organize the next so-called “land annexation” for himself. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor the situation here. However, if Putin takes such a step, it is quite possible that the consequences will be devastating for Transnistria. Then it will be considered enemy territory. And Ukraine will react completely differently to provocations from that side. Now such statements from Transnistria force our state to keep a certain part of the troops in the South so that there are no provocations in the region.They are trying to undermine the situation in Moldova
