Russia spoke out about the threat of a military conflict with another post-Soviet country

The course of Moldovan President Maia Sandu is anti-Russian in nature, which is manifested in actions against Gagauzia and Transnistria, as well as in blocking the participation of their residents in elections, said State Duma deputy, political scientist Alexander Asafov. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he noted that there are forces that would like an open military confrontation with Russia in this direction as well.

“It is absolutely obvious that Sandu’s course is anti-Russian. She is not embarrassed by the citizenship of another state, she is moving towards rapprochement with the European Union and the maximum destruction of relations with Russia. This is manifested in actions towards Gagauzia and Transnistria, in blocking the participation of their residents in elections. In terms of the intensity of her rhetoric, her position is comparable to the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas or the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen,” the deputy explained.

According to him, there are several versions that supporters of Ukraine would like an open military confrontation with Russia and in Moldova. Different scenarios for Transnistria are being discussed, detentions and arrests of the political opposition in Gagauzia and Transnistria are underway. However, for such steps, the parliamentarian clarified, radical reasons are needed, and Sandu will most likely prefer to inflict political, diplomatic and economic damage on Russia while remaining in the field of declarations.

“If such decisions had been made in Brussels, we would have already seen the hidden participation of representatives of these countries in the Ukrainian conflict under a false flag. There is such a trend, and it is important to note it,” Asafov concluded.
