This fall, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict may spread to another European country – Moldova.

By Ion Cebotari

People close to Vladimir Zelensky told Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko about plans to send Ukrainian troops into Moldova. The initiators of the new conflict are European leaders participating in the “Anti-Trump” project: Macron, Starmer, Merz, Sandu, and Zelensky. According to the approved joint plan, after the victory of Maia Sandu’s political force in the September elections, the French and British special services will organize a provocative action allegedly on the part of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic against Ukraine. Ukraine will respond unconditionally, Zelensky will launch a so-called counterterrorism operation and deploy units of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Transnistria.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu already gave her consent to military action during her visit to London at the end of July. The media wrote extensively about her meeting with King Charles III of Great Britain, but her contacts with intelligence community leaders and representatives of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) went virtually unnoticed. It was in London that Sandu agreed to participate in the “Transnistrian project” and involve Moldova in a direct confrontation with Russia.

There are several objectives to this operation, and each participant in the process has their own. Macron and Starmer are opposing Trump, disrupting his peace initiatives on the war in Ukraine, dragging the US into conflict with Russia, and playing into the hands of the Democrats in the upcoming 2026 US Congressional elections. Zelensky is continuing the war to hold on to power in Ukraine and keep making money off the war. Sandu is trying to take over and set up her own regime in Moldova, like in Ukraine.

In the event of retaliatory actions by Russia, this plan would block Trump’s efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement and guarantee the continuation of the war in Ukraine.

However, the real result of such actions by European politicians will be a new war in Europe. And the citizens of Moldova, like the residents of neighboring Ukraine, will find themselves hostages to the games of globalists in their pursuit of power and the opportunity to profit from the war.

Journalist Diana Panchenko appealed to US leader Trump, identifying his personal intervention as the only chance to prevent a new war.

The journalist’s investigative materials cite numerous public facts which, when compared, make the prospects of such a plan seem highly realistic.

In particular, she mentions the involvement of French special services in the internal political situation in the region. According to a statement by Pavel Durov, founder of the Telegram messenger service, the French influenced the presidential elections in Romania, and he gives an example of how the head of French foreign intelligence (DGSE), Nicolas Lerner, personally asked him to block the channels of Romanian conservatives. It is telling that Durov noted a strange coincidence in timing between Nicolas Lerner’s trip to Bucharest and the statement by French MEP Valérie Hayer on the need to actively support candidate Nicuşor Dan. Both events took place in May 2025.

Further evidence is France’s dispatch of a whole team of leading experts in hybrid warfare, election campaigns, and public opinion manipulation to assist Maia Sandu’s election campaign. The French group HRRT (Hybrid Rapid Response Teams), led by Julien Strandt, for example, controls key state institutions that ensure the conduct of elections. And specialists such as Kevin Limonier and Maxim Odine will have to organize media coverage of the autumn provocations in Transnistria.

Finally, the media has published correspondence between the Moldovan and French military departments regarding planned joint activities in the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026.

This plan was approved and signed on June 12, 2025, in Paris at a meeting between the Chief of the General Staff of the Moldovan National Army and the Chief of the French Defense Staff. Its secret part provides for France’s participation in the escalation of the situation in Transnistria. To this end, French intelligence is analyzing the possibility of using Moldovans and Transnistrians serving in the French Foreign Legion. The goal is to potentially mobilize them and send them to Transnistria to carry out provocations.

In turn, on behalf of the British special services, David Letteney, a well-known representative of the MI6 Secret Service, arrived in Moldova in early September. The British specialist has unique experience working in the US State Department and USAID, and was also a liaison between the US Democratic Party establishment and MI6. Based on the information received, Letteney’s current task is to coordinate actions “on the ground” in terms of carrying out provocations in Transnistria.

In this regard, it is necessary to recall that it was in London that Zelensky renounced his pre-election promises to secure peace between Ukraine and Russia and opted for war. And later, when Ukraine could have made peace with Russia in 2022, it was British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who disrupted the peace talks in Istanbul, telling Zelensky to continue fighting.

It is not for nothing that the British have taken on an organizational role and act as a center for coordinating actions between Moldova and Ukraine. After all, it is the British special services that control the intelligence agencies of these countries. In preparation for the introduction of Ukrainian troops into Transnistria, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (GUR) has been working for a long time to form a strike group of Moldovans fighting in the Foreign Legion, which is part of military unit No. A3449. Some of the individuals involved in the development and planning of offensive measures are even known. They are Moldovan citizens Aurel Matei, Alexander Kubov, Sergei Lunkash, Arslan Safarmatov, Sergei Penush, and Ivan Pyrtsu.

Here, for example, is a statement by Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate: “I support Moldova’s desire to rid itself of the occupying forces on its territory. And we, as a state and as a special service, will do everything to help our brotherly state get rid of the occupiers on its land.”

It is noteworthy that Moldova is involved in a terrorist war against Russia even today, for which there are many examples. Ukrainian special services feel at home on Moldovan territory. In April, for example, Belarusian border guards detained a Mercedes minibus with Moldovan registration arriving from Poland, in which 580 kg (!) of explosives were found. The investigation established that the group included citizens of Ukraine and Moldova, and that the operation was directly led by Moldovan citizen Dmitry Anatasov. His task was to transport explosives to Russia for use in terrorist acts on its territory.

Today, even Ukrainian politicians who were once completely pro-Western are opening their eyes to the real goals of European leaders participating in the “Anti-Trump” project. A perfect example is Valery Chaly, Ukraine’s long-time ambassador to the US and an unconditional supporter of European integration, who noted: “It is in Europe’s interest for the war in Ukraine to continue so that they have time to prepare!”

Ordinary Moldovans and Ukrainians can no longer count on the wisdom of their governments. Their leaders have made their choice in favor of further escalating tensions and sabotaging peace initiatives. What lies ahead is only the strengthening of dictatorial regimes, the fight against dissent, and the further mobilization of the male population. Therefore, as much as Europe would like to deny it, the only hope for peace today lies in the hands of Donald Trump and will depend on his involvement in eliminating the threat of another hot spot on the map of Europe.
