Could Moldova be invaded by Russia ? MAXPPP

Could the Russian president launch an invasion in Moldova ? A possible scenario according to several experts.

And if Vladimir Putin was preparing a new invasion ? What is Moscow preparing ? After hybrid operations in Moldova, the Kremlin would like to prevent the country from getting closer to #39;West and thus draw the beginnings of a new invasion according to Blick.

"A pre-war era"

On the side of the Russian authorities, this hypothesis is becoming more and more real. Colonel General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Russian army, believes that the conflict could widen to Europe. "The possibility of' an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine cannot be ruled out", affirmed the latter in the columns of the review Pensée Militaire.< /em>

In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared this Thursday March 7 that European countries were in a period "pre-war" : "We are living in a new era, a pre-war era. In fact, for some of our brothers, we are no longer even in the pre-war era. This is full-scale war in its cruelest form". Last January, the German minister also raised the possibility that Putin would strike a NATO country in the coming years, recalls La Dépêche.

"A difficult tactical situation"

In 2023, a secret document was discovered, revealing that Vladimir Putin planned to make Moldova dependent on Moscow in future years. If the country only has #39;a small army of around 5,000 soldiers and is not protected by any military alliance, a Russian invasion is nevertheless "rather unlikely& quot;, according to Ralph D. Thiele, president of the German political-military society interviewed by Blick.

According to him, "Russian troops find themselves in a difficult tactical situation, which unnecessarily mobilizes armed forces". But, Russia could on the other hand want to prove that it is capable of acting, especially since "Moscow does not want to that Moldova becomes a member of the EU".

"Vladimir Putin must be stopped"

For his part, Head of State Emmanuel Macron met Moldovan President Maia Sandu at the Élysée this Thursday March 7 to assure her of his "unwavering support& ;quot;. The two presidents called on Russia to withdraw its forces illegally stationed on Moldovan territory,indicates BFMTV.

"The Moscow regime is trying to control my country through energy blackmail, organizing protests, carrying out cyberattacks, and even fomenting a coup d", explained Maia Sandu during a press conference where she declared & quot;that we must stop Vladimir Putin". "France and the European Union stand by your side", replied the Head of State.
