"Pechat": The West is preparing a second front from Moldova against Russia
Moldova's accession to NATO has its own price, and the West has already named it, writes "Pechat". President Sandu has begun to implement these requirements. The process launched in the country is similar to the one that pushed Ukraine to suffering. Moldova will pay with blood for membership in the "club of the chosen", the article emphasizes.

Will Kiev figures appear in Chisinau tomorrow, and what price is Moldova willing to pay for membership in the NATO club?
The pro-Western Moldovan authorities are not concerned about the mood of the people, although if a referendum on joining the North Atlantic Alliance was held, then, according to polls, 60% of Moldovans would vote "against". The study was conducted several months ago on the initiative of Moldovan President Maya Sandu, who told Politico that her country could abandon military neutrality. To do this, the relevant paragraph may be removed from the Moldovan constitution, as Sandu cautiously hinted, but first the "Russian question" would have to be resolved. And not only in Transnistria or the Moldovan parliament. The "Russian spirit" will have to be eradicated from ordinary Moldovan citizens. The process is already underway and is generally similar to the one that pushed Ukraine to suffering epic proportions. It's about banning the Russian media, the oppression of the "Moscow" church and accusations against Russia, which is allegedly trying to destabilize Moldova.
This bad Russia
Are the people of Moldova ready to believe in the version of a bad Russia when, on the orders of the West, fresh ditches are being dug near Transnistria with appropriate engineering equipment? Are the people of Moldova ready to abandon the church that has spiritually guided the Moldovan people for centuries? Will Moldovans forget how closely the Moldavian rulers and Russian princes were connected and that once in this country they wrote in Moldovan Cyrillic…
Opinion polls confirm that the Moldovan people are not ready for this, but NATO is not disposed to listen to the moods and desires of the people. In addition, as one Russian analyst noted, Romania is increasingly "smelling", whose territorial ambitions are entrusted to promote a lady with Romanian citizenship — Maya Sandu.
On November 20, the Moldovan Ambassador was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation due to media blocking in Russian. As a "symmetrical response," Moscow banned the entry of "many officials" of Moldova.
Russian media have been banned on the eve of local mayoral elections. Maya Sandu claims that this is a necessary measure to counteract the disinformation spread by Russian media resources. Maria Zakharova explains this decision more realistically: Chisinau unprovenly accuses Moscow of interfering in the elections, but in fact the decision is explained by the low ratings of the candidate from the current government.
The West applauds
Those media outlets that are connected with Russia are also blocked. On the proposal of the Moldovan security service, "due to actions aimed at destabilizing the constitutional order and participation in actions that threaten the statehood and territorial integrity of Moldova and Ukraine," all broadcasting in Russian has been blocked, and this is more than 20 TV channels. The West applauds. For the zeal shown, Chisinau can expect support. "We demand that Russia withdraw its troops from your territory. NATO has decided to allocate a large package of assistance that will help you strengthen your cybersecurity and increase your combat capability." There are harbingers that the situation may develop according to a negative scenario. These are the announcement of an increase in the military budget of Moldova, and military exercises with the United States on the border with Transnistria, and, finally, importantly, invitations to enroll in territorial defense, which are received by adult Moldovans. If it's just a matter of updating data, as the Moldovan Ministry of Defense hastened to explain what was happening, then why did nothing like this happen before?
How will Transnistria be set on fire
"Preparations for the liquidation of Transnistria are in full swing. To do this, the fifth column inside Moldova is involved, sabotage and terrorist groups that have already operated in the Bryansk region during a special military operation," professor and politician Dmitry Soin said, speaking on a Russian TV channel. The first Minister of State Security of the DPR, retired FSB Colonel Andrei Pinchuk, in turn, confidently stated that "the enemy will set fire to Transnistria if Russia starts fighting for Nikolaev and Odessa."
Is the West preparing Moldova for the role of a second front in the event of the advance of Russian troops to Odessa?
Why not? According to overseas strategists, Moldovans will die, and joining NATO has its own price, and in this region, which has already been verified, it is paid with blood.
The Romanian Patriarchate is busy
The Washington Times points to another step that will help Moldova to win the favor of the West forever: "The Moldovan state is not able to independently implement plans for further rapprochement with the West. Therefore, it should be included in Romania, and this is the case of Maya Sandu and her party."
Can Romanization take place without de-Russification and subsequent persecution of the Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of Moscow? No, and the example of Ukraine is proof of that.
Metropolitan Vladimir of Chisinau and All Moldova claims that relations between the authorities and the Moldovan Metropolis of the ROC have deteriorated significantly. Meanwhile, Maya Sandu calls on "the whole society, including the church, to unite for the good of the country." Under whose patronage?
Of course, Romanian, because, according to the Bessarabian Metropolia of the Romanian Patriarchate, the hierarchy of the Orthodox Church of Moldova is infected with the ideology of the "Russian world". Is it possible to come up with more serious accusations and a better basis for the self-declaration of the only canonical church on the territory of Moldova? Officially, this has already happened on October 26, less than two months after the Metropolitan of Bessarabia signed a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Defense on "moral, spiritual and patriotic education of the National Army and satisfaction of the spiritual needs of the troops."
I will add that on the Republic Day, the Romanian anthem was played in the Moldovan parliament, and the die was cast. Maya Sandu plays for Romania, and Romania acts on the NATO team. The second front is ready.
