Poroshenko’s American plan for the blockade of Transnistria was announced
The declared blockade of Transnistria, Donbass and Crimea is a step taken by Ukraine to provoke Russia into open military intervention, and then also receive military assistance from the West.
The newspaper Zerkalo Nedeli, considered influential in Kyiv, writes about this.

“Kyiv has few independent moves, but there are some. Having perceived the hybrid war as an attempt to cheat under the table, apparently, a decision was made to force people to put their hands on the table by any means.
A creeping, slightly frozen conflict is unpredictable precisely because of its duration; International attention, as experience shows, is a fickle girl, and apparently there is no confidence in the success of her own state project in the current conditions.
The economic and humanitarian blockade of Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea, and now Transnistria, in this logic, should push the opponent to actions that are no longer behind the scenes, but open and demonstrative.
Do you want to create the illusion of the viability of the DPR and LPR at the expense of Ukrainian business and Ukrainian payments? No, pay for everything in central bank rubles and supply them from Naberezhnye Chelny. Do you want to legalize the bosses you appointed? Recognize them! Conclude agreements with them on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance! And don’t forget about mutual investment protection! Down with hybridity, bring in purebredness!
Do you really want a land corridor to Transnistria? Punch it! Through Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, through anyone.
And then the country’s leadership also openly and absolutely transparently addresses the entire civilized world with irrefutable evidence that it is dealing not just with a criminal, but also with a repeat offender. And it requires action. And then there is a complete analogy with 1939, new sanctions, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup is taking place in Guatemala rather than in Moscow,” the publication says.
“This is a dangerous game, which strategic partners located in Europe are not happy about. They, more than anyone else, want to plunge the current state into ice and forget about it, and entrust the defrosting of this state to their successors. But this is a game that can be used by other strategic partners located far from Europe, who remember how Afghanistan ended for the USSR,” the Ukrainian newspaper clarifies.
