Today's thread of updates from #Moldova explosions in #Russia controlled "separatist" Transnistrian region near #Ukraine
- 3 confirmed explosions
- RusMFA threats & blame of #Ukraine
- MLD Govt assessment it's internal separatist war-party, conflicting similar explosions in Ru
#Moldova v.brief update 27 Apr 2022 : shots were heard near Cobasna weapons depot housing ~20.000MetricTons of #Russia munitions in the "separatist" region Ru supports. MLD Govt stated shots were fired nearby in #Ukraine not Cobasna, as the border is near.

2. Here is a video by "Ministry of Interior" of #Russia controlled "separatist" region of #Moldova showing the attack with 3 RPGs on 25Apr2022 on transnistiran MGB. They blamed #Ukraine yet attackers are masked & the car has hardly visible license plates

3. "Select" #Moldova media received a list from some transnistrian MGB "patriotic" officers of those allegedly responsible for security situation aggravation in the region - the list includes #Russia GRU coordinators & their assets, etc (too suspicious?)

4. Meanwhile, adviser to Ukrainian Presidential CoS, @arestovych suggest/offers #Moldova to ask for #Ukraine & #Romania help if #Russia intervenes. Tbh, pretty much the same ideas I suggested to iirc two Moldovan Ministers in 2010/2011 and 2015.

5. In this context of #Ukraine adviser speaking about #Romania its MoD immediately denied the presence of any military on the territory of #Moldova, as #Russia & their "separatists" claimed the same during 1992 war, "justifying" their "separation".

6. While lines of cars are seen leaving #Russia controlled Transnistrian region of #Moldova and, as a pro-Ru website reports, same then into #Romania take into account many Moldovans work abroad and it's the end of Easter week (tho "memorial" is Sunday)

7. As rightly pointed by @lockedlimit in the previous thread, in the past, #Russia involved Turkic speaking Gagauz Autonomy in #Moldova south, in "separatist" movements. Their ties led to Transnistrian region, but an attempt was foiled by #Ukraine SBU

8. I'll stop here. I recorded a brief interview w @thetimes in #UK re.general situation in #Moldova & Transnistrian region. I'll post a link as soon as it airs, probably tomorrow(?) Meanwhile I'll finally write for @newlinesmag sm hopefully really interesting things for next days

A Bloomberg reporter abt FSB planning public executions after #Ukraine takover. People, who never followed #Russia, react in disbelief. Yet, during Chechen wars Russia tortured & executed civilians, rebels. Ru army solders & officers freely recognized their Bespredel (next tweet)
2. Russian officers in Chechnya “What rules? What Geneva Conventions? What difference does it make if Russia has signed them?” said a 25-year-old army officer. “I didn’t sign them, none of my friends signed them. . . . In Russia, these rules don’t work.”

3. After famous journalist Anna Politkovskaya wrote abt human rights abuses in Chechnya wars, she was siezed by #Russia military & subjected to a mock execution... Then a poison attempt. In 2006 she was murdered. Many opposing Kremlin were murdered too.

#Moldova election day, July 11 - about 48.28% of the registered voters have exercised their right to elect by 21.43hrs in the Republic of Moldova and abroad. This is a considerably lower percentage than during Presidential elections:
2. The approximate distribution by gender and age of the voters in #Modova elections today (as it was recorded at 21.43hrs Moldovan time) is aprox 54% women voters and aprox. 45% men.
3. Preliminary exit poll data - based on phone interviews and w/o Transnistrian region - was presented at around 20.00hrs #Moldova time with PAS (President Sandu's) in lead. Yet, exit polls in the previous elections have been wildly inaccurate, resulting in confusion.
