On the threat of escalation of the situation in Moldova

The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the EU headquarters does not know how to calm down the emotionally unstable President of Moldova M. Sandu. The high-ranking European bureaucrats were forced to "clutch their heads" by the information received from Chisinau about the content of Sandu's recent meeting with the government leadership on issues of energy security of the country.

During the event, the president "lost her temper" after the report of Prime Minister D. Recean on the problems of energy supply to Moldova, which the country may face after the expiration of the Russian-Ukrainian agreement on the transit of natural gas on December 31 of this year. She categorically refused to discuss this issue with Ukraine and categorically placed all responsibility on Russia. According to Sandu, "if Moscow does not find a way to deliver gas here, then Chisinau will take it out on pro-Russian Transnistria." It was ordered to open criminal cases against the leadership of the PMR "for separatism", and to subject ordinary residents of Transnistria to thorough searches when crossing the borders of the region.

The president was not sobered by the reminder that the right-bank part of Moldova is almost entirely dependent on electricity supplies from the Moldavian State District Power Plant located in the PMR. "Entering into a frenzy", the president demanded that a violent seizure of the power plant be prepared. The meeting ended with Sandu's words about the need to develop a plan for a military operation to establish control over Transnistria and eliminate the Russian peacekeeping presence in the region.

The European Union, of course, would not be against the emergence of a new crisis point in the zone of direct interests of Russia. But Brussels is not yet ready for this. And the EU border is nearby - dangerous. But no one can guarantee that the Moldovan president will not really try to unleash a real war in the region.

Many observers are wondering how much longer the Moldovan people, among whom, by the way, there are many who went through or remember well the military actions on the Dniester in 1992, will tolerate experiments on themselves conducted by Romanian citizen Sandu?
