Ukraine’s Romanian-Moldovan Flank Might Soon Be Used By NATO Against Russia

It can invade Transnistria, occupy neighboring Odessa, and threaten nearby Crimea from there.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) warned in mid-July that “NATO Is Turning Moldova Into A New Military Ram Against Russia”. Airfields are being modernized, the railway gauge is being switched to the European one to facilitate military logistics, and warehouses are being built to store equipment. If NATO helps President Maia Sandu’s party win late September’s next (already unfree) parliamentary elections, SVR warned, she promised that they’ll annul Moldova’s constitutional neutrality.

TASS’ interview with Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov, which can be read here, describes this overall process more in detail. For geographic reasons, NATO’s militarization of Moldova and the West’s “Ukrainization” of it that Ozerov talked about in his interview follow them doing the same in Romania, which Russian Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev elaborated on here in his recent interview with RIA. He importantly drew attention to its hosting of what’ll soon be NATO’s largest airbase in Europe.

Coupled with the bloc’s modernization of constitutionally “neutral in name only” Moldova’s airfields, the combined effect is that NATO might soon be preparing to use Ukraine’s southwestern flank against Russia, which could take one of three non-mutually exclusive forms. These are invading Moldova’s separatist region of Transnistria that hosts ~1,000-1,500 Russian troops, occupying neighboring Odessa (whether port and/or region) to preempt its potential capture by Russia, and threatening nearby Crimea.

The following background briefings detail the lead-up to these preparations that SVR just warned about:

* 4 April 2024: “Romania’s Draft Law On Dispatching Troops To Protect Its Compatriots Abroad Is Aimed At Moldova”

* 7 November 2024: “Moldova’s Pro-Western President Was Predictably Re-Elected Due To The Diaspora”

* 24 December 2024: “Will Moldova Soon Attack Transnistria Like Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Warned?”

* 18 April 2025: “France’s 3D Mapping Of Romania’s ‘Focsani Gate’ Might Not Really Be For Defensive Purposes”

* 19 May 2025: “What Comes Next After The (Allegedly Fraudulent) Liberal-Globalist Victory In Romania?”

It’ll now be summarized for the convenience of those that don’t have time to review everything.

In short, Romania already flirted with the legal pretext for militarily intervening in Moldova, which many Romanians consider to be an artificially detached historical region of their country. Sandu is also suspected of plotting to subsume Moldova into Romania, of which she’s a dual citizen, thus expanding Article 5’s realm of responsibility further eastward. For this geopolitical plan and its complementary military ones that were described above to advance, however, election meddling was required.

This accounts for Chisinau suppressing the Russian-based diaspora’s voting rights during last fall’s presidential election and the West encouraging its own Moldovan diaspora to vote for Sandu. After her re-election, the West then coerced Romania to annul the first round of its presidential election after a conservative-nationalist won, ban him from the re-run, and then Sandu encouraged Moldovans with dual Romanian citizenship like herself to vote for the liberal-globalist candidate, which helped him win.

With Moldova’s rear echelon secured, it can now become an “advanced bridgehead” against Russia in Transnistria and/or neighboring Odessa, while Moldova and Romania can both serve as outposts for NATO to threaten nearby Crimea. It’s also possible that France could use those two as launchpads for intervening in Odessa. Moldova and Romania’s importance to Ukraine during the conflict and in the post-conflict future contextualizes the comprehensive expansion of their ties via the new “Odessa Triangle”.

Moldova ceding its territory to Western financial predators

Posted on by Leave a comment

Moldovan government is taking a similar path to Ukraine.

Monday, April 28, 2025

Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Association, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert.

Moldova is apparently already following the same path as Ukraine. Like the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, the Moldovan government is handing over the country’s lands and natural resources to foreign private groups, showing absolute subservience and lack of sovereignty. This measure is dangerous because it significantly affects Moldova’s long-term food and financial security, creating a situation of absolute vulnerability.

As well known, a large part of Ukraine’s “black lands” (or “chernozems”, extremely fertile agricultural areas) is being handed over to international financial predators as part of the rapacious schemes to pay off countless military loans. Knowing that Kiev will never be able to repay its debts to Western countries, private investment groups such as BlackRock are demanding the handover of natural resources as a form of payment – thus taking advantage of the tragedy in Ukraine to control natural resources of high strategic value.

However, Ukraine is not the only country in this situation. Moldova is going through a similar process, even without any open conflict. Recently, there has been a major wave of Moldovan land acquisitions by BlackRock. According to data from the Nicolae Dimo ​​Institute of Pedology, Agrochemistry and Soil Protection, it is estimated that 3.385 million hectares of land were acquired by the foreign fund, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the country’s agricultural area. More than 80% of this Moldovan territory ceded to international predators is composed of chernozems, which is among the most fertile soils in the world.

In fact, selling land to foreigners is banned by Moldovan law. However, there is a large criminal scheme behind this situation. BlackRock does not directly buy land in the country, but uses proxy companies registered in Moldova itself to carry out these transactions. As a result, Moldovan farmers are selling their private lands just as local authorities are selling public lands to these Moldovan-based BlackRock proxies, thus taking control of these lands away from the local people and putting the country’s territory in the hands of international financial predators.

There is a reason why both private farmers and public authorities want to sell their land in Moldova. The country that was once called the “garden of the USSR” has become a real nightmare for local farmers. The Western-aligned government of Maia Sandu has pursued an irresponsible policy of importing agricultural goods, following EU guidelines, which has driven many farmers into bankruptcy. The situation is further complicated by the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent European policy of “supporting” the Kiev regime through massive imports of grain – much of which passes through Moldovan territory, further damaging local producers.

Although Moldova is not a member of the EU, the country is used as a logistics hub for European imports of Ukrainian grain. Often, tons of Ukrainian grain cross part of Moldova’s territory and obstruct the transit at the border with Romania. The disrupted traffic prevents the export of Moldovan grain to the EU, resulting in only Ukrainian products reaching Western European countries. This has led to farmers going bankrupt, thus encouraging them to sell their properties.

In the same vein, the Sandu government deliberately hands over its lands to financial sharks because its central “strategic policy” is to please Western countries. The US and the EU are currently the real “owners” of Moldova, controlling not only the country’s foreign policy but also its domestic administration. Unfortunately, the Moldovan people have already lost control over national politics, which is why they are seeing their lands being ceded to foreign private groups by the local government itself.

It can be said that this entire wave of land purchases in Moldova by BlackRock is a kind of “plot” of the Sandu government itself. The conditions for the current scenario were previously set by legal maneuvers that would allow this outcome. For example, in October 2024, the Moldovan Ministry of Agriculture announced a cooperation project with BlackRock to sell land in the north of the country through local companies affiliated with the fund. Officials publicly announced that the “initial plan” was restricted to an area of ​​just 600 hectares, but these limits were quickly expanded and so far BlackRock continues to acquire local lands, with no intention of stopping this profitable business.

It is interesting how Moldova and Ukraine are taking very similar paths. Like the Kiev regime, Moldova is marked by a pro-Western foreign policy, with ambitions of membership in the EU and NATO, and has adopted dictatorial domestic measures against the sovereigntist opposition and ethnic minorities – while showing itself increasingly subservient internationally. Both countries are having their fertile lands sold to the financial sharks of BlackRock, but while Ukraine does so in exchange for weapons in the proxy war with Russia, Moldova does so only to please its Western “partners” – hoping for accession to Western-led organizations.

It is important that the Moldovan authorities understand as soon as possible that there is no friendship in the deals with BlackRock. Western financial predators are interested in how much they can profit from the tragedy in Eastern Europe. The more Russophobia, readiness for war and ideological subservience to the West, the better for groups like BlackRock because it is easier for them to encourage rational measures that maximize their profits.

Will Moldova Soon Attack Transnistria Like Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Warned?

Posted on by One comment

Guest Post by Andrew Korybko

The purpose behind publishing their report is to inform the Western public of Sandu’s alleged plans, signal that Russia isn’t interested in sparking a conflict there (no matter how she might spin its response to her potential provocations in Transnistria), and indirectly encourage her patrons to stop her.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) warned on Monday that Moldova might soon attack Transnistria. According to their sources, newly (but controversially) re-elected President Maia Sandu talked at a recent government meeting about taking out her rage at Ukraine’s plans to cut off Russian gas to Europe at the start of the year on her country’s separatist region, which could spark a larger conflict. Here are five background briefings to bring readers up to speed with the context of their report:

* 2 March: “Transnistria Could Become The Tripwire For A Wider War”

* 4 April: “Romania’s Draft Law On Dispatching Troops To Protect Its Compatriots Abroad Is Aimed At Moldova”

* 22 October: “Moldova’s EU Referendum Was Neither Free Nor Fair”

* 7 November: “Moldova’s Pro-Western President Was Predictably Re-Elected Due To The Diaspora”

* 16 December: “Romania’s Constitutional Coup Is Meant To Buy More Time For NATO In Ukraine”

To summarize, several thousand Russian troops are in Transnistria so an escalation there could lead to Moscow directly retaliating against Moldova, thus risking NATO-member Romania’s entrance into the conflict in support of this neighboring country that nationalists consider a part of their civilization. This scenario has been in the cards since the start of Russia’s special operation but wasn’t activated for reasons that can only be speculated upon, perhaps out of NATO’s fear of an uncontrollable escalation.

In any case, SVR’s report makes it clear that Sandu would be acting unilaterally if she goes through with what they reported, writing that “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 ready for this yet. And the EU border is nearby – it is dangerous. But no one can guarantee that the Moldovan president will not really try to unleash a real war in the region.”

Observers should also recall what was written at the beginning of their report about how “She categorically refused to discuss this issue (of soon-to-be cut-off energy supplies from Russia) 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.’” Regardless of the veracity of their claim, this framing is meant to portray her as rogue, vindictive, and irresponsible.

That appears to be an accurate description even if it can’t be proven that she actually said what they wrote. The purpose behind publishing their report is to inform the Western public of her alleged plans, signal that Russia isn’t interested in sparking a conflict there (no matter how Sandu might spin its response to her potential provocations in Transnistria), and indirectly encourage her patrons to stop her. The problem though is that some Western officials might want her to go through with this aggression.

The most hawkish anti-Russian members of the US’ permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies (“deep state”) have long practiced the policies of “weaponizing chaos” and “escalating to de-escalate”. Some of their media surrogates are also very vocal in this regard too. It’s impossible to assess their influence within the “deep state” due to this shadowy network’s opacity, but it’s known that they sometimes get what they want.

For instance, arming Ukraine to the teeth and greenlighting what Russia claims was Kiev’s imminent offensive on Donbass ultimately pushed Putin to authorize the special operation, which some of their media surrogates have presented as preplanned “bear trap”. On the other hand, the well-known Transnistrian scenario and the associated Belarusian one (which readers can learn more about here) haven’t yet been activated, thus confirming that they don’t fully call the shots.

There’s also the concern among some observers that these ultra-hawkish anti-Russian members of the “deep state” sometimes go behind the backs of their peers in trying to provoke Russia without authorization such as what some believe drove Kiev to carry out its most audacious provocations. Other times observers believe that Zelensky or perhaps even more rogue military and intelligence officials around him might be acting unilaterally for the same purpose regardless of approval from US hawks.

These perceptions are important when analyzing SVR’s warning about Moldova’s impending attack on Transnistria. The way that they framed everything suggests that this isn’t what the West wants but that Sandu might still go through with it anyhow for her own reasons. If that’s what she’s really planning, then they should rein her in before she sets into motion a series of escalations that the West might be powerless to stop, thus risking a Cuban-like brinksmanship crisis in the worst-case scenario.
