Could war in Ukraine spread to Moldova? – BBC News

Published

on



The situation in Ukraine’s neighbour Moldova, where the Russian-backed separatist territory of Transnistria is located, is under increased scrutiny after a series of explosions.

According to Emma Ashford of the Atlantic Council, the region of Transnistria, where the explosions occurred, is one of the frozen wars of the post-Soviet zone.

”There’s always the possibility of things heating up again in a frozen conflict,” she added.

The BBC’s Ros Atkins looks at why there’s concern that Moldova could be drawn into the war.

    Republik of Moldavien has to send Intel an soldiers to suport Ukraine.
    This is a direct threat to Moldova.
    Moldova has to start admiting this danger and start helping strongly because it is in it's interests.
    If they don't want to be atacked they have to send soldiers in silence , to send anonym, without Name and speaking Russian …
    Nobody will Notice.

    The West will deceive you in such a way, lie and promise that you will be left without underwear. You still don't understand … When you understand, you will be naked and poor, unfortunately. It will make the most of you. They are not interested in democracy or human rights, they LIE, AND CHEAT, LIKE POKER PLAYERS, WHICH THEY ARE. They will give you weapons .. They will encourage you, cheer for you, they will poison you with their media .. You will pay dearly for that, UNFORTUNATELY, WITH MONEY AND BLOOD. There is no free cheese except in the mousetrap. When they are such "great democrats", why are all their media blocked for comments? Why defend a different opinion? They are not far from the Nazis, unfortunately. Every good.

    America? The groom at every wedding, and the dead at every funeral .. They interfere in everything .. And who then does not understand where the global problems come from, and who is their "cannon fodder"? Goodbye Youtube .. There is Rutube .. And there are no ads on it .. You do not know Russian? Who is to blame for you? Enjoy your lies, and bring judgment without hearing the other side, like Dr. Goebbels. Nazis …

    I have been to Moldova dozens of times. Very recently also (more recently than those on here). Firstly, there is little sense of a Russian "invasion" into Moldova. All is calm. The Ukrainian refugees stealing their jobs is more of a live issue for Moldovan citizens. Second. The issue there is that there are a lot of Russian speakers in Moldova Who identify more with Russia in any conflict. A lot came from the east of Ukraine, which hates the regime in Kiev. They will not only refuse to fight for Zelenski in Kiev. They will actively resist it. Which is one reason why their pro-EU president is shit scared of any such war in Moldova. The country will then have its own civil war.

    The USA got its arse kicked back to Washington in Vietnam. And in Iraq. And in Afghanistan. Now the US-backed regime in Kiev is in the process of having its arse kicked out of Ukraine by Russia. The worst defeat yet. Because it’s in Europe and under the nose of NATO. When will the Yanks ever learn not to get involved in other countries’ problems?

    Many people are caught up in the arising and

    ceasing of their own karmic conditions.

    Our emotions are controlled by our

    intelligence, and our intelligence is subject to our state of mind.

    Our state of mind requires cultivation to

    develop, just like flowers in a garden require our care to flourish.

    I see the venom flowing out of jealousy from those US and NATO countries who infact begged Taliban for Mercy in Kabul and ran out so fast that made Usain Bolt to BLUSH 😊.
    WAIT.
    When the US and the West get involved in a conflict in future,
    Russia will arm their enemies and you will bleed.
    US must understand COWBOY TIMES ARE OVER LONG AGO and we will see what USA and NATO do when China invades Taiwan.

    You made Russian & Ukraine Brothers to fight each other by expanding NATO to east when Ukraine is the only buffer state between Russia & NATO and west is flaming the war by pumping arms in to Ukraine and all arms producers in West are feeling Happy as their pockets are full.
    All of you are fed again and again by Fake News and stupidly belive that Ukraine will win this conflict.
    Like Gost of Kiev,loss of Russian Generals is a cooked up story to keep you entertained 😆.
    When ISIS was slitting the throat of Westerners, Obama was sleeping and President Putin bombed them to Hell.
    When Twin Towers were brought down,America became the laughing stock of the world.
    USA and NATO started this war and RUSSIA will finish.

    As a Romanian, this much I can say, Moldova has split off and become its own country we respected its boundaries and its right however Russia's policy about moving people to colonize areas they purged of its local populace is something that is not being taught in schools, that is were the major problem lies
    My best advice move all of those out of that region and back into Russia, if they are so fond of them,

    If anything Moldova should keep a sharp eye on Transnistria. As far as Russia itself attacking? I doubt it… Putin doesn’t have enough Men, weapons, equipment or money to fight Ukraine as it is. He can not handle fighting against Moldova and Ukraine at the same time.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
