By provocations in Transnistria, Russia is trying to open a front in the Odesa region - NSDC

Provocations in Transnistria were carried out by the Russian Federal Security Service in order to open an additional front in the Odesa region. This was reported by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the CNSD in Telegram.

Such a situation will force the AFU to pull forces in this direction, weakening them in the Mykolaiv region.

"Transnistria will follow the Belarusian scenario - supporting the Russian Federation without entering the active phase of the war," the Center reports.

The second reason for the provocations is to justify their actions in Ukraine. By dropping shelling in Tiraspol on the AFU, Russia, "saving its own," justifies the invasion of Ukraine and the deaths of thousands of its soldiers.

Another reason is the diversion from Mariupol, where they found another mass graves on the maps. In this way, the Russian Federation is "covering up traces" of its war crimes and genocide of the Ukrainian people.
