Opinion: Russia aims to control Moldova, remove Maia Sandu, then attack Odessa from the rear
Russia has reportedly revised its war plans in Ukraine, now aiming to gain control over Moldova by supporting pro-Russian forces in the upcoming elections on September 28. The intention is to oust Maia Sandu through a coup d'état and subsequently launch an attack on the Odessa region from behind, with assistance from Chisinau. This information was shared by Aleksii Arestovich, a former military intelligence officer, political analyst, and former presidential advisor in Ukraine, who outlined the potential stages of this scenario in a post on Telegram.
