Is Moldova Russia's Next Target?

Transnistria, the breakaway region of Moldova, has just asked Russia for help. Tension has now skyrocketed and many analysts see Moldova as Putin's next victim. In this video we tell you all the details.

If Russian troops invade Moldova from transnistria, Ukraine would defeat transnistria very fast to protect Odessa

Moldova should vote to become part of Romania.

Talking in circles. This could've been explained in 2-3 minutes

Well Russia is a little busy with Ukraine right now. Not to mention they have no way to get to Moldova with out going through NATO or Ukraine, so it won't be invading Moldova any time soon, or ever.

*Reunification of Romania must take place imediately!*

I went to Bender and Tiraspol a little more than a week ago (from Moldova, by bus). Literally nothing was happening.

Forgetting one thing, moldovans are in fact romanians, do you think Romania will stay neutral and indifferent while the population suffers? The answer is obvious.
Last time they took Bessarabia (Republic of Moldova) from the Romanian state, the Romanians invaded Russia. Now, an invasion is not on the cards, but it shows the level of commitment towards this cause.

Russian army would be bogged down by Moldovan border patrol police.

I suspect that Moldova should invite Ukraine and Romania through the UN to help them provide humanitarian aid to Transnistria say 10, 000 Romanian soldiers, 3, Ukrainian soldiers, plus a coalition of 5, 000 soldiers from non NATO UN countries could all go in and help ensure nothing pops off and adminster the region for the next decade and then at the end of that time a referendum gets held to decide what they want to do

It's ironic that the russian speaker excuse was one of the ways hitler justified his early invasions at the start of ww2.

I hope Putin tries it. Not only would it severely undermine his Ukraine offensive, but it would make the western community care more about the Russian threat.

Easy solution: allow anyone from Transnistria to move to Moldova, until the end of the year, then treat Transnistria as another country, which it basically is for over 30 years now. This way, you give up some land but save 90% of the population by moving towards Europe.

Certainly wouldn't come as a surprise 🤷🏻‍♀️

[chuckmarius]

pffft, Russia couldn't defend their ally Armenia and they didn't have an unpassable hostile territory to get to them, how do they figure they can get to Moldova through Ukraine?

The UK and the UK have failed to follow through on their legal obligations under the Budapest Memorandum. Troops should've been sent straight into Ukraine.

[gforceXX]

Trump never said cutting off funds to Ukraine but instead convert to Lend Lease and Loans and forcing EU and NATO to do more.

[dragosstanciu]

Kazakhstan too may be a future target. It has a weak army and a big Russian minority population.

[simonpannett]

Transnistria is ut off and only available by aerate present with Russia not having air superiority. For the EU it can stand up to Russia and support Moldova sovereignty! With Transnistria incorporated then it would set a precedent for Georgia and other countries to also Stan up to Russia with the EU protecting its rights!! The French already in Romania are in a great position to take back Transnistria and using Russian weapon stockpiles!!

[cornelnaumencu]

Our ex-president (Traian Basescu) said : "Russia can occupy Transnistria in less than 24h, but they won't be able to hold it more than a few days..." it will be just a waste of resources for them just to try

[jeffsiegwart]

Why leave out other county like Georgia?
