Overnight, Romania began deploying air-defense missile systems along its border with Moldova/Transnistria.
Tensions in the region are now at maximum, with Ukraine troops massing along their border with Transnistria/Moldova, just near a huge ammo depot filled with 20,000 tons of Soviet-era weapons and ammunition. If Ukraine can grab that weapons depot, it will supply their war effort against Russia for a full year.
Yesterday, this web site reported that Transnistria is now BLOCKING entry by Ukrainians unless they have relatives in the local area. Story HERE
Ukraine began massing 15,000-20,000 troops near Transnistria earlier this week. Story HERE
It is now coming out publicly that Russia may have to use TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS to make certain Ukraine cannot get its hands on that ammo depot. IT would serve to stop Ukraine and also serve the Russian military doctrine of "Escalate to De-Escalate" by showing adversaries that Russia is, in fact, willing to go all the way.
This is a flashpoint the world has never seen before, and it could happen within days.
