Russian Saboteurs Infiltrate From Transnistria
Russian Saboteurs Infiltrate From Transnistria

Kodyma — The Russian Federation is sending saboteurs and raiders from Transnistria into Ukraine. These are not impromptu actions, as many were seen before and during the war, but rather a coordinated incursion from Moscow aimed at extending the war into the Odesa Oblast’ by land. Dozens of small groups of these ДРГs have already entered cities like the one I am writing from, where I have collected testimonies from distressed civilians who have long imposed a stricter curfew on themselves than the one already in place.
Reports are increasingly frequent along the border between Ukraine and the ’Republic of Pridnestrovie’, which proclaimed itself independent from Moldova in 1990 but is not recognized by any UN member state.
Only two other territorial entities resulting from the destabilization wrought by the Russian Federation in Georgia actually recognize its existence: Abkhazia and South Ossetia, territories occupied by Russia and unilaterally declared ‘autonomous republics’ by armed groups who recognize them as an integral part of the Russian Federation.

This is happening for several reasons: first, Moscow’s immediate goal is to divert Ukrainian resources to a side opposite Pokrovsk and, more generally, Donbas; furthermore, it should not be forgotten that Russia’s plans for invading Ukraine involve cutting it off from all access to the sea by connecting the territories currently occupied by Russia to that strip of Moldova (in a briefing held shortly after, on February 24, 2022, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko clearly indicated this on a map); third, according to various rumors, Moldova is preparing to liberate that strip of its territory from Russian presence in anticipation of its accession to the EU.

Reinforcing this latter hypothesis is Dmitri Soin, an intelligence veteran and former member of the so-called ‘Pridnestrovie parliament’. According to him, Chisinau decided to urgently repair the bridges over the Dniester (seven are currently being renovated) to facilitate the Moldovan military’s movement into Transnistria and Gagauzia, following suggestions from unspecified Ukrainian and British advisors. The infiltration of Russian armed groups into Ukrainian Bessarabia has been an ongoing issue for at least 12 years, mirroring Russia’s actions in Donbas and Crimea.
Today, however, there is evidence that Moscow is strengthening its military presence in that area by reactivating Soviet-era weaponry, starting drone production and training centers for their operators, and deploying its special services agents there.

Cobasna, located just 130 kilometers from Chisinau, is home to the largest Soviet-era weapons depot in Eastern Europe. Twenty thousand tons of various types of explosives, if detonated together, would have the same effect as an atomic bomb like the one dropped on Hiroshima. They are primarily ammunition and artillery shells. Dated, but consistent with what the Russian Federation currently uses in Ukraine.
The presence of ДРГs on such a large scale proves that Vladimir Putin still plans to subjugate other large portions of Ukraine to create what he insists on calling «Novorossiya»: that is, those «historic territories» that, he claims, must return to Moscow’s rule.

If anyone in Washington still believes in the story of Russian-speaking Ukrainians being 'liberated’ and in the political recognition of the «territorial realities» resulting from a colonial war, they are invited to take a look around here.
As long as the russkij mir does not try to swallow these lands too, turning them into wastelands and gray zones, it will be possible to ask the Ukrainians living there whether they feel Russian or not.

俄罗斯破坏者从德涅斯特河沿岸渗透
作者:Giorgio Provinciali
乌克兰前线报道
科季马——俄罗斯联邦正在从摩尔多瓦的德涅斯特河沿岸地区派遣破坏者和突袭者进入乌克兰。这些行动并非即兴之举,正如在战争前战争期间看到的那样,而是一场来自莫斯科的协调入侵,旨在通过陆路将战争扩展到敖德萨州。已经有数十个小型的破坏小组进入了我现在写作的这个城市,在这里,我收集了许多痛苦平民的证词,他们长期实施比现行宵禁更严格的宵禁。
在乌克兰与“德涅斯特河沿岸共和国”之间的边界上,冲突越来越频繁,该共和国在1990年宣布从摩尔多瓦独立,但没有得到任何联合国成员国的承认。
只有另外两个因俄罗斯在格鲁吉亚引发动荡而产生的地区真正承认其存在:阿布哈兹和南奥塞梯,这两个被俄罗斯占领的地区由武装团体单方面宣称为“自治共和国”,并视其为俄罗斯联邦的一个不可分割的部分。

这个发生的原因有几个:首先,莫斯科的即时目标是将乌克兰的资源转移到与波克罗夫斯克相对的一侧,或者说是顿巴斯;此外,不应忘记的是,俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的计划包括通过连接当前被俄罗斯占领的区域和那条摩尔多瓦的走廊,切断乌克兰的所有海洋通道(在2022年2月24日后不久的简报中,白俄罗斯独裁者亚历山大·卢卡申科在地图上明确指出了这一点);第三,根据各种传闻,摩尔多瓦正在准备从俄罗斯手上解放该国的这部分领土,以期加入欧盟。

一位情报老兵和所谓“德涅斯特河沿岸议会”的前成员,德米特里·索因支持后一假设。他表示,基希讷乌决定紧急修复在德涅斯特河上的桥梁(目前有七座正在修缮),以便摩尔多瓦军队能够进入德涅斯特河共和国和加告兹地区,这一决定是在不明身份的乌克兰和英国顾问的建议下作出的。俄罗斯武装组织渗透乌克兰比萨拉比亚的问题已经持续了至少12年,这与俄罗斯在顿巴斯和克里米亚的行动相呼应。
然而,今天有证据显示,莫斯科正在通过重新启用苏联时代的武器、启动无人机生产和操作员培训中心,以及在该地区部署其特工,来加强在该地区的军事存在。

科巴斯纳距离基希讷乌仅130公里,是东欧最大的苏联时期武器库所在地。如果这些各类炸药同时引爆,20,000吨的炸药将产生与在广岛投下的原子弹相同的效果。它们主要是弹药和炮弹。虽然老旧,但与俄罗斯在乌克兰使用的武器相一致。
破坏小组的大规模存在证明,弗拉基米尔·普京仍计划将乌克兰的其他大部分地区征服,以创造他所坚称的“新俄罗斯”:即那些他声称必须回归莫斯科统治的“历史领土”。

如果华盛顿的某些人仍然相信讲俄语的乌克兰人被“解放”的故事,以及殖民战争而产生的“领土现实”的政治认可,他们不妨来这里看看。
只要“俄罗斯世界”不试图吞并这些土地,将其变成荒地和灰色地带,就可以询问生活在那里的乌克兰人,看看他们是否觉得自己是俄罗斯人。
