🇲🇩🇷🇴🇺🇸 A video has surfaced online from the latest joint military exercise between Moldova and Romania, JCET-2023. The exercise is taking place at the training ground in the village of Bulboaca, near the border with Transnistria.

Yesterday, the commander of the Moldovan army, Eduard Okhladchuk, the deputy chief of the General Staff, Sergiu Chirimpei, and the commander of the 52nd special forces battalion "Băneasa-Otopeni," Vasile Moldoveanu, observed the live firing exercise.

The main training ground for the Moldovan army is located in the village of Bulboaca, with the capital of Transnistria, Tiraspol, only 29 km away.

📌The previous JCET-2023 exercises in Bulboaca took place in March 2023, with the participation of special forces from the British and US armies. The maneuvers, which involved capturing cities, were personally supervised by General Patrick Ellis, the deputy chief of staff of the US Army Operations Command in Europe.

By the way, the Rapid Trident exercises, led by the United States, concluded in September with a ceremonial shooting event in Bulboaca.

🔻Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry has not yet issued any definitive statements regarding the ongoing NATO military exercises in neutral Moldova, near Transnistria where Russian peacekeepers are stationed. So far, only general statements have been made by officials, expressing concerns about the situation. #Moldova Transnistria #Romania #USA

☦️🇲🇩🇷🇴 In Moldova, there is ongoing political intrigue surrounding the local Orthodox Church.

According to Romanian media, next week at least 13 churches will reportedly leave the Moldavian Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church and join the Bessarabian Metropolis, which is under the authority of Bucharest. You can read the full report here.

▪️ They also report that over 60 Moldovan priests have transferred to the Romanian Orthodox Church since the start of the Special Military Operation (SMO). For example, priest Andrei Oistric from the Ialoveni region of Moldova has already brought his parish under the authority of the Romanian Patriarchate.

▪️ Until recently, Oistric was the dean of the Chisinau Theological Academy, which is affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church. Throughout the years, he did not hide his sympathy for Romanian Orthodoxy, as he studied in Bucharest.

▪️ It has also been revealed that Prime Minister Dorin Recean of Moldova has been pushing church representatives to initiate discussions about transferring the Moldavian Metropolis to the rule of the Romanian Patriarchate.

🔻However, in November, during a meeting of church rectors and monastery leaders from the Moldavian Metropolis, the majority expressed their support for maintaining their affiliation with the Russian Church in order to avoid causing a schism in society.

📌 Despite this, the Romanian authorities have announced that they will allocate 2 million euros annually to support the Bessarabian Metropolis in Moldova. This indicates that the opinions of the majority of Moldovan priests are not deterring the minority and the political authorities from provoking yet another church schism, similar to what we have witnessed in other failed states.

🇲🇩🇷🇴🇫🇷 Last week, the results of another opinion poll of Moldovan residents regarding the foreign policy direction of the republic were released. Overall, the results show little deviation from previous studies, with President Maia Sandu's policies continuing to move in the opposite direction.

According to the survey, 37.8% of respondents supported unification with Romania, while 50% were against it. Regarding Moldova's accession to NATO, 55.4% opposed it, while 28.5% were in favor.

▪️ However, Moldova is effectively on its way to becoming a NATO member, as evidenced by the alliance's ongoing military exercises and the latest reports on the deployment of French military forces in the country.

▪️ The process of unification with Romania is being disguised as European integration, with Romanian politicians already holding key positions in Moldova.

▪️ It is clear that the Western military presence in Moldova is not only aimed at addressing the "issue" of Transnistria and gaining access to the Odessa region, but also at quelling potential protests, particularly in the pro-Russian region of Gagauzia.

🔻The presidential elections in Moldova are scheduled for this upcoming fall, and it is unlikely that Sandu will secure a victory in the first round through a fair election. There have been rumors suggesting that Sandu had requested the involvement of Azov militants to handle potential protests. Nevertheless, there is already a sufficient presence of Western security forces, primarily Romanian and soon French, operating in the country for this purpose.

🇲🇩🇺🇸🇷🇴 The next military exercise JCET-2024 (Joint Combined Exchange Training) with the participation of the US and Romanian armies has commenced in Moldova.

The maneuvers will last until April 19 to “strengthen operational cooperation” between the three armies. The Moldovan side is represented by special forces fighters Fulger and Panther, as well as the State Security Service.

▪️ The parties are planning parachute jumps, day and night combat firing, and field trips to complete tasks.

▪️ The Ministry of Defense of Moldova does not disclose the areas of military exercises but warns residents about the movement of equipment on the roads of the republic.

▪️ It is evident that at least the Bulboaca military training ground, located near the capital of Transnistria, Tiraspol, will be reactivated.

▪️ It is important to remember that any training serves as an ideal cover for other tasks. This allows for the relatively secret transfer of a large number of people and equipment, of course, under the pretext of training.

🔻The Americans conduct exercises in Moldova approximately once a quarter, while the Romanians do so almost every month.

Meanwhile, the majority of Moldovan society has a negative attitude towards NATO and believes that the country’s security is guaranteed by the neutrality outlined in the Constitution of the republic.

However, in President Maia Sandu's office, there are aspirations to join the alliance and increase the military budget at the expense of social spending.

🇲🇩 🇷🇺 🇷🇴 🇺🇦 Crown Princess Margaret of Romania (formerly Princess of Hohenzollern) - the daughter of the former King of Romania, Mihai I, recently had another meeting with the Moldovan leadership, this time in Bucharest.

Just to refresh your memory, on November 13 last year, the royal figure visited Chisinau with her husband. However, while the previous meeting was covered in the press, the Moldovan authorities' visit to the Crown Princess was kept out of the public eye.

🔻Possibly the reason for this secrecy is the topic of their discussion.

The discussions revolved around establishing a representative office of the Royal House of Romania in Chisinau and addressing the process of reclaiming the property and land that the royal family lost when the Bolsheviks came into power.

Interestingly, these conversations extend beyond Moldova to include the Shabo vineyards in the Odessa region and forests in the so-called Ukrainian Chernivtsi region. So far, these talks have been merely verbal, but this might change soon.

There are indications that the Romanian authorities are gearing up to initiate the restitution process, aiming to return the former royal lands. Notably, Poland has already begun similar procedures in the western regions of what is referred to as Ukraine.

🔻Following these developments, it seems that the Romanian authorities are considering extending their influence not only in Moldova but also in certain parts of the Odessa and Chernivtsi regions of Ukraine. It appears they are vying for the title of the "Hyena of Europe” alongside Poland, although currently, they are only at the "Jackal" stage in this endeavor.

However, Romania seems to overlook one crucial aspect: all the territories they are eyeing are part of the former Russian Empire. Perhaps it's time for Russia to assert its rights as well, considering the trend.

🇲🇩🇷🇴🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷 The Ministry of Defense of Moldova announced that a platoon of the Moldovan contingent will participate in the NATO naval exercise “Sea Shield 2024”, scheduled to take place in Romania from April 8 to 21.

NATO's Sea Shield exercise is an annual event. However, since last year, when a Russian SMO took place in Ukraine, the alliance adjusted the location of the exercises due to the closure of the Bosphorus Strait to other countries.

- This year, approximately 2,100 military personnel from Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, and the United States are participating in the exercise. In comparison, last year saw 3,400 troops recruited.

- Official data indicates that 135 units of military equipment will be involved in the exercises, including 27 sea and river ships, 17 aircraft, and 91 vehicles and watercraft.

- Vice Admiral Mihai Panait, Chief of Staff of the Romanian Navy, mentioned that participants will practice operational procedures against submarines on the water surface, as well as against aviation in the Black Sea and in the river area of responsibility.

- Additionally, Moldovan and Romanian military personnel will separately conduct live firing exercises at the training base in Babadag, Romania.

🔻The exercises, with a focus on Romania and involving the Moldovan army, showcase both Bucharest's new role for NATO in the region and the potential of Moldovan territory as a future springboard against Russia.

🇲🇩🇷🇴 Here is the English translation:

Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has once again stated that Moldovans and the Moldovan language do not exist.

According to Ciolacu, Moldova, which he exclusively calls Bessarabia, is inhabited by Romanians who speak Romanian and should join Romania. This is why Bucharest is so persistently pushing for the European integration of Moldova, which is a cover for the annexation of the post-Soviet republic.

▪️Moldovan opposition deputies demanded that the government protest against the Romanian authorities due to their repeated anti-Moldovan statements.

▪️The opposition also demanded to hear the head of the Moldovan Foreign Ministry Nicu Popșoi on the issue, but the PAS party refused. After all, in the ruling party, everyone has Romanian passports, including Popșoi and President Maia Sandu.

▪️The Romanian Prime Minister also added that Bucharest will help their citizen Sandu to be re-elected, as "there is no other democratic solution for Bessarabia" than unification with Romania.

📊 Indeed, there are no real democratic paths for the unification of the two countries, as neither the citizens of Romania nor Moldova support the unification of the republics. According to opinion polls, only 8% of Moldovans approve of this idea.

🔻Nevertheless, the Romanian authorities are actively working to destroy Moldovan statehood and identity, with the help of Sandu's team. The country's Constitution has already renamed the Moldovan language to Romanian, and Bucharest finances the discrediting of the Moldovan Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church and buys up all the strategic assets of the republic.

Currently, a census is also underway in Moldova, and the authorities are calling on Moldovans to register as Romanians, which is intended to create another argument for the Romanian authorities to exercise the right to deploy troops in the neighboring country to "protect their citizens".
