🇷🇺🇲🇩🇺🇦Of course, Moscow again blames everything on Kyiv, without explaining why the hell it's for Kyiv.

One of the far-fetched explanations is that in the Transnistrian village of Kolbasna, not far from the border with Ukraine, there is the largest warehouse of old ammunition in Eastern Europe, which appeared there back in 1940s. Allegedly, Ukraine, in the face of a shortage of weapons, is extremely interested in taking possession of this warehouse.

👉This version doesn't withstand any criticism from military experts, primarily because, in the current war, Ukraine is in dire need of the latest anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, which, by definition, cannot be in the Soviet ammunition depot.
▪️In addition, after a long period of conservation, no wheeled or tracked vehicles will immediately be able to move.

👉 And most importantly, experts say, a deliberate provocation in its rear, on the western flank, when all forces are pulled to the east, would be complete madness on the part of Kyiv — and unlike Moscow, there are far from fools in Kyiv.

⚠️At the same time, the West believes that the warehouse in Kolbasna deserves immediate attention.
"It's 22,000 tons of ammunition, guarded by a Russian contingent of 1,500 people, just two kilometers from the Ukrainian border. [...] And now Transnistria, as we see, can get the opportunity to open a fourth front," says Isaac Evans, expert in the field of frozen conflicts of the international organization OWP.
So this warehouse is desperately needed by Russia itself!

🔴 In addition, Russia has clearly gone to the destabilization of the eastern regions of Moldova in order to force part of the Ukrainian forces to redeploy from the current combat zones to its southwestern borders.

⁉️С чего начинался т.н. "приднестровский конфликт"
На протяжении всего существования Приднестровская Молдавская Республика с населением в 400 000 чел. остается самопровозглашенным анклавом, не признанным ни одним государством, в т.ч. и Россией. Все государства-члены ООН признают Приднестровье частью Молдовы

Война за "независимость" Приднестровья от Молдовы — фейк, раздутый Кремлем. Ни те, ни другие никогда не хотели воевать. Местные рассказывают, что приднестровцы и молдаване зачастую просто сидели друг напротив друга, вместе курили и изредка постреливали в воздух, чтобы русские думали, что они воюют... чтобы Москва наконец от них отстала.

Но сейчас России позарез нужна не только военная техника, но и люди для войны в Украине, т.к. в Крыму люди "закончились"

❗️Главное, для чего Москва постоянно пытается "откусить" кусок территории от других государств и подогревает конфликты на этих территориях - страны, имеющие территориальные споры, не могут вступить в НАТО для защиты своей независимости

⁉️How did the so-called "Transnistrian conflict" begin?
Throughout its existence, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic with a population of 400,000 people has remained a self-proclaimed enclave not recognized by any country, incl. and Russia. All UN member states recognize Transnistria as part of Moldova.

While Moldova, one of Europe’s poorest nations, has increasingly moved towards the European Union in recent years, Transnistria has kept its strong ties to Russia. In March, Moldova signed an official request to join the EU, though that process would likely take many years.

While Moldova is called the "poorest country", in Transnistria, a fragment of the Soviet Union, just total poverty reigns! Transnistria and its capital can feel like stepping into a time warp, with Soviet iconography like the hammer-and-sickle prominently displayed on flags and buildings, and a statue of Vladimir Lenin standing outside the parliament building.

The so-colled war for the "independence" of Transnistria from Moldova is nothing more than a fake, artificially inflated by the Kremlin. Neither of them ever wanted to fight. Locals say that Pridnestrovians and Moldovans often just sat opposite each other, smoked together and occasionally shot in the air, so that the Russians thought they were at war... so that Moscow would fall behind them, finally.

But now Russia desperately needs not only military equipment, but also people for the war in Ukraine, as in the Crimea, people "ended".

❗️The main for which Moscow is constantly trying to "bite off" a piece of territory from other states and fuels conflicts in these territories is that countries with territorial disputes cannot join NATO to protect their independence, this is usually the main obstacle.
