A Russian attack on Moldova “could be a high possibility,” Igor Zhovkva said. Zhovkva is the deputy head of the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to Politico Zhovkva’s comments express Zelensky’s concerns that Ukraine “was intended only as a beginning.” And he has been predicting that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends “to capture other countries.”
US and EU intelligence agencies have warned since January that Russia could initiate false flag operations in Moldova to justify gaining control of the country.
At the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine images of pro-Russian Belarus, President Lukashenko went viral. He was addressing his security council and pointing at a map of Ukraine. The map shows planned troop movements and infrastructure targets.
Lukashenko was forecasting the Russian planned invasion of Moldova. One of the targets on Lukashenko’s board is the Transnistria region of Moldova.
Moldova is not a member of NATO or the European Union. It has around 6,000 soldiers in its armed forces. It is also a landlocked country that borders Ukraine on three sides. And Romania is its western border.
