Russian foreign intelligence (SVR) has released a stark warning: NATO is accelerating Moldova’s militarization, transforming the country into a forward military base along Russia’s southwestern flank. According to the SVR, the alliance is fast-tracking military-political integration under the guise of “security cooperation,” while quietly preparing infrastructure for potential large-scale NATO deployments. This includes converting Moldova’s rail network to European gauge, upgrading bridges, and expanding logistics hubs near the Ukrainian border: clear preparations for turning Moldova into a springboard for future confrontation, Moscow asserts.
The volatile wildcard in this strategic equation remains the Soviet-era ammunition depot in Cobasna, Transnistria. Housing tens of thousands of tons of artillery shells, bombs, and mines, the facility has long been a tinderbox. Russian analysts warn that a sabotage incident here could trigger catastrophic consequences, not just a massive explosion with regional fallout, but a pretext to drag Russia into conflict as Transnistria’s security guarantor. The SVR suggests that such a scenario would then be exploited to justify NATO’s deeper intervention under the banner of “crisis response.”
Recent developments lend credence to Moscow’s concerns. Moldovan troops, now training under NATO standards, were reportedly among casualties in a recent strike on Ukraine’s Davydiv Brid training ground in the Kherson region, which is an evidence of Chisinau’s creeping involvement in the conflict. Meanwhile, upgrades to airfields like Marculesti and Bălți signal NATO’s intent to project airpower alarmingly close to Russia’s borders.
The Kremlin frames these moves not as defensive measures, but as deliberate theater-building for a wider war. By eroding Moldova’s neutrality, NATO isn’t just encircling Russia, it’s creating a powder keg where horrific incidents like explosion of Cobasna could artificially manufacture escalation. With Moldova’s infrastructure being weaponized and its military absorbed into Western operational frameworks, the SVR predicts the southwestern flank may become NATO’s next “proxy battleground” within months. The message is clear: the Alliance isn’t preparing to defend Moldova, but to sacrifice it.
this will give russia a cast iron excuse to mobilise and take odessa and if russia doesn’t its putting its people at risk of annihilation.
i think only ukraine and poland are brainwashed enough for endless war cemeteries. i doubt other countries really want to fight until der untergang🔥💣🔥
load moldova and ukraine with weapons and continue to lower oil prices and increase sanctions as trump announced, the rest is the usual kremlin delusions
the only people with delusions are ziolibtard derelicts such as yourself .
here’s the kind of weapons the ukretardish are deemed worthy to have: “second world war-era handguns that had been earmarked for destruction by the canadian armed forces will instead be sent to ukraine starting in december. in april, the ottawa citizen reported that the original plan was to destroy 11,000 of the browning hi-power pistols. but now 10,500 of the 9-mm pistols will be shipped to ukraine.”
the browning p-35 is no slouch. it carries 15 rounds (14 in the mag, one in the breech) of 9mm parabellum and can kill a man at 50 meters. it was designed by john browning, who designed the colt m1911 45 caliber semiautomatic pistol. the canadian ones are in excellent shape; royal canadian electrical-mechanical engineers (rceme) have had to learn over the years of maintaining old, supposedly obsolete equipment long past its sell-by date.
and unlike the “game-changer” m777s which have tubes that melt after a day’s firing, the p-35s will still be around long after ukraine is a distant memory.
the only responsible action after it was clear with the orange movement that ukraine wants to move towards eu and nato would have been to offer all russians in ukraine and moldova to help them finantially and logisticly to move to russia. russia should give every russian who does not live in russia a couple years time to relocate before they forfeit their citicenship together with a declatarion that they cannot demand any protection from russia.
every russian outside russia is just seen as a way to pull russia into conflicts by nato. which is funny while every citicen is used as an asset for the western countries it is made to a liability if it is not a western citizen by the same west.
