The Russian Federation is looking for excuses for escalation: Moldova accused Russian troops of Transnistria - isw

According to analysts, the Russian Federation can carry out an information campaign to destabilize the situation in Moldova, which borders with Romania, which is part of NATO. Moldova's authorities accused Russian troops of Transnistria of improper use of drones during last month's exercises. About it writes the analytical center "Institute of War Study" in the summary of January 21.

Last week, Moldova's authorities convened a combined control commission to investigate the Russian military through the use of small arms, drones and imitation weapons during the exercises held last month for a sabotage attack.

"Moldova's authorities stated that the presence and use of these weapons by the Russian peacekeeping forces inside the security zone violates the commission protocols, and that the Russian peacekeeping forces did not properly report this weapon and drones as part of their arsenal," ISW reports.

It is noted that the Kremlin -related military blogger stated that the Moldovan authorities "increased pressure" on the separatist region, "calling for the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers, as well as through economic pressure. " According to "military", such pressure is aimed at "power reintegration" of Transnistria to Moldova? And "Russia should be prepared for further escalation. " These statements are consistent with recent accusations by the so -called PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky.

ISW analysts believe that statements related to the Kremlin "Voice" and the accusations of Krasnosilsky are likely to be made within the planned information campaign aimed at destabilizing in Moldova, which borders with Romania, which is part of NATO to justify the future Russian escalation in the region . Recall that the referendum on the entry of Moldova to the EU will take place without Transnistria.
