ISW: By warnings, Russia is trying to discredit the information sent by Volodymyr Zelensky to Maia Sandu
Russia could create conditions for an operation under a foreign flag in the Transnistrian region, claims the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which recalled that the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of preparing provocations in the area with the help of soldiers dressed in Russian uniforms . Thus, ISW believes, Moscow is trying to discredit the information sent by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenski, to Maia Sandu, such as that Russia would prepare provocations in the Republic of Moldova and Kiev's readiness to offer help in the event that Russian troops stationed illegally in the transnistrian region would threaten territorial integrity of Ukraine.
