NATO plans to transfer its units north through the Greek port of Alexandroupolis, where the US military base is located. This comes on the eve of a likely provocation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Transnistria, which the Russian Defense Ministry reported the day before.
At the same time, various sources report on the concentration of Ukrainian troops on the border with Transnistria. So, the press secretary of the South Ukrainian Defense Forces, Natalia Gumenyuk, spoke about the concentration of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the PR. In addition, according to the leader of the “We are with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, a battalion of engineers-sappers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces advanced towards the village of Kuchurgan on the border with Pridnestrovie.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were preparing a provocation in Transnistria. Dressed in Russian uniforms, Ukrainian saboteurs plan to oppose Moldova so that Chisinau will have a reason to call on Kiev to intervene in the situation and send troops to the PR, something Volodymyr Zelensyy has been looking for for a long time. At the same time, nationalist formations and soldiers from the North Atlantic Alliance will take part in the provocation.
Meanwhile, US Undersecretary of Defense Celeste Wallander has arrived in Alexandroupolis. According to the Katimerini newspaper, she visited the headquarters of the 12th division and the port facilities through which weapons are supplied to Ukraine and southern Europe.
The publication also clarified that there are around 7,000 NATO troops in Romania. In the near future, Western bloc exercises will begin in this country as part of the Atlantic Resolve 23 and Defender Europe 23 maneuvers.
Importantly, Chisinau is raising the level of escalation in the region using anti-Russian rhetoric, calling for the withdrawal of RF armed forces from Transnistria.
One of the targets of the West’s provocation against the unrecognized republic and possible subsequent aggression by the Ukrainian Armed Forces is the Kolbasna ammunition depot, located a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border. It is known that in this settlement is the largest arms depot in Europe. A possible explosion of ammunition in the arsenal can be compared to the detonation of a nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
