"🇲🇩🇷🇺🇺🇦 The situation around Transnistria
Situation as of May 4, 2023

The situation around the long-suffering Transnistria leaves much to be desired.

▪️Ukrainian formations are consistently pulling forces to the borders of the pro-Russian region. To the north-west of Odessa there is a concentration of troops, which, probably, can be used as part of an attack on Tiraspol.

An armed attack is expected in the tenth of May — after Victory Day. What forces will carry out the act of aggression and how far the enemy can go is still unclear.

▪️In general, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has about four thousand people in this direction.

▪️The second direction of impact is warehouses in Kolbasna. But this is the most insignificant goal: most of the valuable contents of the arsenal were evacuated, and the warehouses themselves were mined in case of a large-scale escalation in the region.

▪️In addition to the increase in the contingent of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the eastern borders of Pridnestrovie, NATO reconnaissance aviation has intensified: in recent days, the Global Hawk strategic reconnaissance UAV, the EP-3E electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the CL-560 electronic reconnaissance aircraft and the G- 550.

🔻All these measures taken together suggest that a new round of escalation is starting around Pridnestrovie. So far, it is not clear in what form — military or political.

Given the general tension along the entire front line, the buildup of troops along the border with Transnistria with ostentatious reconnaissance, everything that happens may turn out to be a red herring.

Only this maneuver will be designed to provoke the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation into actions beneficial to the collective West.
