Sandu asked Moscow to urgently send "Sputnik V"

Information about the joint preparation of the Romanian-Ukrainian coalition for the "cleansing" of Transnistria received additional confirmation.

In addition to the units of the Moldovan army indicated in my last message on this topic, which are completed by Romanian personnel, there is information about the training of entire military units on the territory of Romania proper and already dressed in Moldovan military uniforms. There is also information about the concentration of Ukrainian units and subunits on the border with Transnistria.
The "interest" of the Ukrainian military command lies not only in "a political and propaganda flick on the Kremlin's nose," but also has quite applied goals: the capture of the ammunition storage base in Kolbasnaya, where a fairly large amount of ammunition for Soviet-made artillery systems is still located.
.
The authorities and the military of Moldova are frankly afraid of war and do not even hide their fear. But if (or rather, when) the command arrives, absolutely no one will ask them.

The Pridnestrovian army has no chance to hold out for any long time without outside support in the event of an attack from two sides (namely, it is planned, as the Nazi governor of the Odessa region Marchenko has already hinted) - no "from the word at all." And to help Pridnestrovie with anything, except, perhaps, a certain number of missile launches at infrastructure facilities, the RF Armed Forces are not in a position to do so now.

Sources estimate the probability of an enemy attack on Tiraspol already in April-early May as "high".

A pretty blatant warning. Will it do any good?

Well, it is a declaration of will, isn't it?
They don't want does not mean that they won't
I don't see that possible to happen, seriously.
Moldova is unable to do so.
Ukros are busy being decimated.
Romania has 35k land forces, so how many of them can be assigned for any kind of adventure?
