New Delhi: The war between Russia and Ukraine will end after three years in February next year. President Vladimir Putin is launching brutal attacks on Ukraine, while Ukrainian warplanes are wreaking havoc on Russia in retaliation. According to reports, Russia is currently planning an attack on another European country and has allegedly found a pretext for the attack.
The Russian government, led by Vladimir Putin, has accused the European country of Moldova of planning a military operation in Transnistria, Al Jazeera reported. Experts suspect Russia will take significant action soon.
What you need to know about Moldova:
Moldova is a small country in Europe. In ancient times, present-day Moldova was under the rule of the Roman Empire. In 1812, Russia took control of the eastern part and named it Bessarabia. This week, Russian intelligence announced that Moldova’s President Maia Sandu is planning a military operation in Transnistria, which borders Ukraine. Mr Sandu was sworn in for a second term as president on Tuesday.
In a sensational claim, the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed on Wednesday that NATO is trying to turn Moldova into a weapons hub for Ukraine. The accusations have further heightened concerns that Moscow is looking for a pretext to launch potential military action against its small neighbor.
Adrian Bartel, Sandu’s chief of staff, denied Russia’s claims and said he considered the region to be part of Moldova but had no plans to invade Transnistria militarily. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the Russian government believes the weapons were ultimately destined for Ukraine.
President Putin has consistently suggested that not only Ukraine, but also other countries supporting Russia in its war with Russia, could potentially be considered enemies by the Kremlin and could launch attacks. It is important to keep this in mind.
