On Monday, the Kremlin expressed “concern” over the situation in the Transnistrian region, which had broken away from Moldova. External forces are fueling the situation there, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to the state news agency TASS. Last week, Moscow told the West it would view any action that “threatens Russian peacekeepers in Transnistria” as an attack on Russia itself.
“Of course, the situation in Transnistria is the subject of our greatest attention and concern,” Peskov said at a press conference when asked how the Kremlin viewed developments in Transnistria and whether Moscow was concerned that the West was trying to seize control. about the situation in Transnistria. into the situation to undermine the region.
The fear of an attack grows
Russia’s warning raises fears of a possible Russian attack in Moldova, a small former Soviet republic sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine. Moldova’s pro-European president Maia Sandu this month accused Moscow of plotting a coup, which Russia denied.
Russia worried about explosions in Mariupol
According to British intelligence experts, the situation in Ukraine is also a major headache for the Kremlin. Moscow is said to be concerned about explosions at military sites in the occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
According to the Defense Department’s daily intelligence update on Monday, there have been 14 explosions since early February alone, including at an ammunition depot, two fuel depots and a steel plant used by the military.
City largely destroyed
Moscow probably did not expect the Ukrainian army to be able to hit targets in the city, which is 80 kilometers behind the front line, it said. Despite extensive destruction, Mariupol is important to Russia because it is the largest city captured since the beginning of the war and still in Russian hands. It is also on an important supply route.
