Everyone is wondering about the next plan of Russian President Putin, who attempted to invade Ukraine and raised the whole world. The statement of a Russian general was interpreted as giving clues about Moscow’s plan after Ukraine. Allegedly, the invasion initiated by Putin will not be limited to Ukraine.
According to the news of NewsAU; A small nation on the border with Ukraine fears being the next place Putin will occupy after comments from a top Russian general.
NEXT TARGET MOLDOVA CLAIM! EVENT WORDS FROM THE RUSSIAN COMMANDER
Rustam Minnekaev, Deputy Commander of the Central Military District of Russia, who said that the Russian army will try to maintain full control over both eastern and southern Ukraine, said, “Controlling the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are cases of oppression of Russian-speaking people.” His mention of the war was interpreted by some as an operation signal to Moldova.
Transnistria region in Moldova is known as a small separatist region where pro-Russian separatists are armed and supported by Moscow. Transnistria bears similarities to the Russian-speaking regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which left Kiev in 2014.
Moldova denies that Russian speakers are under pressure.
ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE FROM MOLDOVA
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova also issued a statement regarding the comments made. The ministry’s statement said, “We consider the statements made by Russia in this direction unfounded. These statements of Russia contradict the attitude that respects our national sovereignty and independence, which is recognized in the international arena.”
In a separate statement, Moldova’s bureau for reintegration policies said Minnekaev’s statement was “unacceptable” and stated that the rights of all people in Moldova are respected, regardless of their origin.
