The War Against Ukraine: Tensions Rise in Moldova
Status: 02/03/2023 08:36 AM
Fears are growing in the former Soviet republic of Moldova that it might be drawn into Russia’s war against Ukraine. Russian soldiers stationed in the divided region of Transnistria could also play a role in this.
Thousands of demonstrators in the Moldovan capital Chisinau on Tuesday demanded the resignation of President Maia Sandu. It was the second time in two weeks that the pro-Russian opposition Shor party had managed to mobilize so many people. They called on the pro-Western government to lower energy prices through subsidies and to keep their country out of the war in neighboring Ukraine.
Fear of getting involved in the war
Fears of the ex-Soviet republic of Moldova’s involvement in the war have also grown recently because Russia accuses Ukraine almost every day of wanting to carry out a military provocation in the breakaway region of Transnistria. The self-declared eastern republic of Moldova borders Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned at the beginning of the week: “Of course, the situation in Transnistria is the subject of our greatest concern and causes concern. That’s fine, and we understand that.”
Russian soldiers in Transnistria
Russia stationed soldiers in the region of Transnistria which seceded from Moldova. The Russian Foreign Ministry recently made it clear that attacks on forces there would be treated as an attack on the Russian Federation. The warning was also explicitly directed at the United States and other NATO member states.
Moldova has consistently denied Russian allegations that Ukraine is planning military action against the breakaway republic. There are no threats to military security in Transnistria, according to the Chişinău Defense Ministry. Moldova, in turn, accused Russia of wanting to overthrow the pro-Western government, which Moscow immediately denied.
Warning of military intervention
In this mixed situation, former Moldovan President Igor Dodon, known for his pro-Russian stance, is heating up the situation by picking up on Russian allegations and warning Ukraine against military intervention in Transnistria: “It is a very dangerous situation in the Transnistrian region and in Transnistria. You see the statements of the Ukrainians, the statements of Maya Sandu, you see other statements. I want to address our Ukrainian neighbors directly. They are our brothers. We don’t need your help in Transnistria. Deal with your own problems.”
Kyiv fears a Russian attack
Ukraine fears that Russia is looking for an excuse to attack with the forces stationed there. Even if it is estimated that only about 3,000 Russian soldiers will be stationed in Transnistria, they are said to have no heavy weapons at their disposal. However, there is currently no reliable information.
From the southern border of Transnistria it is less than a hundred kilometers to the Ukrainian port of Odessa. Speaking on Ukrainian TV, Andriy Demchenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Border Guard Service, said: „We understand the enemy’s treachery, we understand that provocations can happen at any time. So we are ready for any threats – from any direction – even if something comes from Transnistria.” .
Amid rising tensions in the region, Hungarian airline Wizz Air has announced that it will stop flying to Chisinau Airport in Moldova from March 14.
