Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Romania… all in the same powder-keg situation.
Many people don’t remember, but the war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year, began as Russia moved to protect Russian-speaking populations in the Donbas (Donetsk and Luhansk).
Now, even as the conflict with Kiev is still raging, another minority Russian population becomes focus of attention of Russian military authorities.
We’re talking about Transnistria, a Russian enclave in Moldova – which itself is a former part of Romania.

Now, former defense minister and current secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, has come to the public to warn that the safety of Russians in the Transnistria region is currently under threat.
Shoigu further warned yesterday (21) that Moscow will take all steps to protect their citizens.
