"Hawk" from Chisinau: The likelihood of an attack from Transnistria is vanishingly small
The possibility of “Russian aggression” from the territory of Transnistria decreased after the Russian military left Zmeiny Island.
Member of the Moldovan Parliament Oazu Nantoi stated this in an interview with the Ukrainian TV channel Freedom, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“From the moment the Russian ship went where it was sent, Zmeiny Island was liberated, and Putin’s blitzkrieg failed, the likelihood that Russia would somehow try to activate an operational group of troops on the territory of Moldova is vanishingly small. Of course, it is very unpleasant for Ukraine that it is forced to keep some military units near the so-called Transnistria (452 km of common border), but this is the least of the evils,” Nantoi said.
According to him, “there are no people willing to fight on the left bank” of the Dniester, because after Ukraine blocked the possibility of rotation of Russian troops in 2015, the Transnistrian group turned into “an ugly hybrid of local residents with Russian passports who do not know where to run.” .
However, the Moldovan deputy admitted that if successful in Ukraine, Russian troops will enter Moldova and stop “only on the Prut” (the border with Romania), since “General Surovikin will not negotiate the status of Transnistria».
