Russian media outlets claim that a total of three "terrorist attacks" were carried out in "Transnistria" #Moldova
The attacks targeted the building of the Ministry of State Security, a military unit in the village of Parcani and a radio and TV tower according to Russian outlets
A "red level" alert has been issued in Transnistria. Checkpoints are set to be set up in cities across the Russia-backed separatist "republic"
This is clearly an attempt by #Russia to increase tensions there, using an old playbook we've seen play out already many times, including weeks ago in the Donbass
There are already reports of people fleeing Transnistria as they know exactly what the Russian playbook entails
This comes after the acting commander of #Russia's Central Military District Major General Rustam Minnekaev mentioned the need to help Russian-speaking minorities in Moldova
Additional picture of long queues at border checkpoint as people are fleeing Transnistria
Russian media reported another "attack" this morning in Transnistria against an ammunition depot in Kobasna
#Breaking the Transnistrian Interior Ministry is now accusing Ukraine of being behind the attack in Kolbasna this morning, also claiming that drones flew from #Ukraine into the territory of Transnistria last night (translated statement below)

The commander of #Russia's Central Military district reframed the "new phase" of the "special op" in #Ukraine as having three goals:
- Donbass
- Southern Ukraine (including access to Transnistria)
- Land bridge to Crimea
So just how realistic is this? In the longer-term, if Russia had all the time in the world, it could prove a realistic objective (certainly far more realistic than taking Kyiv in a few days). But time is not necessarily on Russia's side.
I personally think that there are signs #Russia is not "taking its time", and that there is indeed some pressure on the Russian military to achieve something in the coming weeks.

Thread on #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine - April 19
Today the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that it begun a new phase of #Russia's "special operation" in #Ukraine, claiming that it aims to fully capture the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces
As of now, the offensive did not lead to any significant change (still early). It started with a heavy artillery barrage. Russia also claims to have carried out a series of "high-precision" missile strikes on targets in the Donbass.

I do think we should be careful with throwing around the term genocide, but brushing it aside because the two people are "brothers" is the dumbest argument
There is a question of intent that I think requires investigation (and I do think some elements points to the systematic elimination of people as I've said before) and clear war crimes being committed.
I do think there is a broader problem with people thinking only a genocide should prompt a response (which is why we tend to jump to genocide). We should act before that, focusing on "genocides" as if this was the end all be all of international triggers is dangerous
