DISINFO: The West can create another hot spot in Transnistria to divert Russian forces
SUMMARY
The West can create another hot spot, this time in Transnistria, in order to divert Russian forces. This will happen in the event of a serious failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that Moldova is acting under the control of foreign partners.
No evidence is provided to support the claim. See our recent examination of the attempts to create turmoil in Moldova by inflaming the Transnistria issue.
Moldova and Ukraine, through their leaders, have said many times that there are no plans to attack Transnistria, on the contrary, everything is being done to maintain stability in this region. See here a similar case claiming that the US is opening news fronts against Russia in Moldova and the South Caucasus an here a case accusing Kyiv of inciting war in the Caucasus and Transnistria.
