Russia accuses US of preparing Moldovan special forces for conflict with Transnistria
Russia accused the US of training Moldovan special forces for a possible new conflict with unrecognized Transnistria, as stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Facebook.
“The design and construction of facilities to practice military operations in the context of urban warfare – the Americans are starting to train saboteurs and the Moldovan special forces for a possible new armed conflict with Transnistria” Rogozin said. Notably, Rogozin made reference to research from the propagandist channel RT, which states that the US is planning to deploy eight facilities at the base in the Bulboaca village in Moldova. Among the facilities which America is supposedly planning to construct are a school, a service station, residential buildings and a shopping center.
Recently Moldova declared Rogozin a persona non grata. Moldovan Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Andrei Galbur stated that the step was taken because “Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin made offensive statements about the Moldovan authorities,”.
