🚨 NATO plays intimidation card to retain grasp on Moldova ahead of elections – analyst

🔊 The West could take extreme measures if pro-Russian forces win Moldova’s parliamentary elections, political commentator Cornel Ciurea told Sputnik, amid Russian intel warnings that NATO is preparing to occupy Moldova.

🗣 The EU doesn’t want to cede control over Moldova, said Ciurea, former deputy chairman of Moldova’s Social-Liberal Party.
It’s betting on pro-Western President Maia Sandu’s Party of Action and Solidarity to win on September 28.

Scare tactics

A NATO-prepped “landing force” in Ukraine’s Odessa region to intimidate Transnistria, according to Russia’s SVR, signals a calculated intimidation scenario for the last week of Moldova’s election campaign, the expert noted. He pointed out that such scare tactics have been used before.

Transnistria: Potential spark for NATO escalation

A de facto state unrecognized by the West, Transnistria could serve as a pretext for a NATO operation, the pundit speculated.
“The idea of using it to escalate tensions is not new—we’ve seen this before,” he said.

👉 Home to 60% ethnic Russians and Ukrainians, Transnistria sought independence from Moldova before the USSR collapsed, fearing Romanian unification. Moldova’s 1992 military intervention failed, leaving the region outside Chisinau’s control.

💪🏻🪖 Russian forces advance on strategic hub of Kupyansk

Units of the Russian Zapad Battlegroup are advancing in the operation to liberate the heavily fortified city of Kupyansk, a critical logistical node for Ukrainian forces, the Ministry of Defense reports.

📍 Strategic importance:

🔶 Kupyansk is a major rail and road junction supplying Ukrainian troops on the eastern bank of the Oskol River.

🔶 Its capture opens a direct path for a deeper offensive into the Kharkov region, including towards Izyum and Chuguyev.

🔶 That would help Russian forces gain control over key Ukrainian defensive positions in the Donbass, like Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

⚔️ Reported gains and tactics:

🔶 Ukrainian forces turned the city into a ‘fortress’ with concrete fortifications and minefields.

🔶 Russian forces are employing tactics like ‘underground assault’ through engineering tunnels.

🔶 The MoD claims up to 700 Ukrainian servicemen are besieged in the city, with 250 already eliminated.

🔶 Reported Ukrainian losses over the past month include more than 1,800 troops, 36 tanks and 137 artillery pieces.

🚨 Zakharova: Moldova’s pro-Western elite clings to power by stirring Russophobia

🇲🇩 Moldova’s ruling circles and their European sponsors are trying to maintain a monopoly on power, but are unsure of the election outcome, which is not surprising, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

💬 “Russia has always been and will remain a reliable friend of Moldova. Unlike the authorities, the Moldovan people do not see Russia as a threat,” she added.

🗣 "[Maia] Sandu’s 'Russophobic salvo' about an alleged Russian attempt to influence parliamentary elections is an attempt to maintain a monopoly on power amid unpopularity," the spokeswoman stressed.
