    Moldova is primarily Romanian heritage / language.. Transnistria is a split of 2 or 3 languages ... time for a 007 to sort out Belarussian dictator!

    They voted against uniting with Romania in 1994 and perhaps now they might regret making that decision as I do think they are on Putin's radar. The ethnic mix a you say is 76% Moldovan, 9% Ukrainian and 6% Russian with a minor factor of 2% Bulgarian. The languages are split between Moldovan (Romanian), Ukrainian and Russian. The biggest negative is the Transnistria, where I suspect the Russians are in the majority, and there are 1500 Russian troops based in the breakaway region to kick in when, and if, demonstrations against the government start. Whether or not Romania is willing to help Moldova in it's possible fight for democracy has to be in question, plus I doubt that the Western powers already helping Ukraine can afford to spread their efforts into yet another regional battle. There are so many factors yet to be decided by both the West and China/Russia before this is over and the current rhetoric doesn't bode well for a peaceful end to the illegal war crimes against innocent civilians that are being meted out by Putin and his thugs. Keep your eyes on the always bellicose Balkan countries, especially Serbia and Montenegro, who clearly haven't learnt from the horrors of the Yugoslavia breakup.

    please log in to view this image
    It could be anywhere and has no real damage like you might expect ...
    "The target of the drone in Kolomna "was probably a civilian infrastructure facility, which was not damaged", Mr Vorobyov posted on Telegram.

    "There are no casualties or damage on the ground. The FSB (Russian security service) and other competent authorities are investigating," he added.

    Images shared by Russian media and officials show a damaged drone in a snow-covered field in front of a forest of birch trees. The area around the Gazprom facility is heavily forested.

    There was a small group of Russian ex-pats here in Fuengirola yesterday holding an anti-war protest.

    There is a growing discontent amongst a lot of Russians, wife's and mothers who have children now fatherless and parents of those killed are likely to out weigh the those that dont have family being offered up to the canon!
    I think I posted very early on [ Feb / March 2022 ] , that there is a Belarussian group/ movement that was very anti Belarus getting involved militarily... were not happy with the Russian build up pre invasion. They were very anti GOVERNMENT WHICH WAS FALSELY DECLARED WINNERS!
    There is also a GROUP / MOVEMENT of anti Putrid dictatorship in Russia itself.
    Some estimates reckon that over 500k young Russians have left to take up "exile" elsewhere. Unlike the majority of asylum seekers who become a burden to the countries they tend to parasite off these "exiles" [ Russian ] and Ukranians who have fled will actually WORK! amongst them are some of The brightest brains that will be "the future".
    The protests of last year March - May in Russia saw 000's arrested and one rumour I was led to believe was some 20k are imprisoned! But protests stopped [ sort of ] because of conscription age they were imprisoned, where they then got served the conscript paperwork and taken to into the army.. 2 weeks training and front line!
    Photo above doesnt sit right with me somehow. These drones would explode on impact? show no signs of being hit in flight? and unarmed used for surveillance. Picture is fuzzy, so not professionally taken. In background is a couple of buildings, so you might expect there would be far more foot prints? ............ Images shared by Russian media and officials show a damaged drone in a snow-covered field ... COULD easily be a spent drone downed by tech failure somewhere in Eastern UKRAINE!

    I wonder if China would approve and abide by a cease-fire and dialogue if part of their country was invaded by force by a foreign power?
    I suspect not.

    Can't trust the Chinese anyway. Even less than the Russians and Belarus.

    When I have been talking to people all across the world the biggest concern for all of those countries is the Chinese invasion of their national identity. In New Zealand they tried sneakily to take over the dairy industry by buying up farms to allow them to make powdered milk for shipment back to China. They were also sending children to schools in NZ as a way of getting citizenship and many other issues on the same topic were raised by the many people with whom I had conversations. In the middle of the Pacific we came across about 50 rusting hulks posing as fishing vessels raking everything from the sea and moving their catches over to a factory ship for processing before being sent back home. The crews on board did not like the photographic evidence being taken from our decks as we slid slowly through the mass of vessels, and I saw it as just another invasion by the Chinese who feel they have the right to do anything they please and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks. In just about every major city I have visited there is a large Chinese population and if there is only 10% of what is going on here in Canada then we should have concerns as to what they are there for in the long term.

    Currently we are having a conversation about Chinese meddling in elections and how they try to manipulate voting by financing some candidates who they believe will vote for an agenda that can aid China in some way in the future. It is also widely believed that Chinese residents in Canada have secret police stations based in various organizations throughout their communities dealing out threats that are coming from Beijing to people who go against the grain. The money laundering passing through casinos is beyond belief, along with business takeovers that are not in the best interests of the nation, and all of the subterfuge going on concerns me as to where it takes us all. The invasion of our daily lives by something coming from China has to be a concern and allowing their products to be placed in facilities like Hinkley Point makes me shudder especially when you consider the evil intents of a controlling government that violates all of their citizens human rights. All employees in certain industries, such as the various forms of governments and financial institutions, have been told they can't use Tik-Tok anymore for fears of information stealing by the Chinese. The time is at hand when we have to consider banning some overseas companies from doing any business in our world due to the sinister intentions to do harm at some level to our daily functions that this supposedly open market allows.

    Apparently Ukrainian air defences has shot down over 20? [ conservative est: ] fighter bombers each cost £40m [ish ] Mostly over Eastern UKRAINE. UK starstreak missile guilty of many victories!! almost infallible up to about 25,000 feet!
    first of many fighting vehicles now in GERMANY! Rumour! a large number of pilots getting trained on modern jets ....just in case!
    Transnistria with 1500 Russian soldiers based there IS ACTUALLY A VERY LARGE "AMMO DUMP"... people of Transnistria are are bought by the Kremlin with very cheap oil and gas AND other bribes.
    Kremlin has planted a false flag over Transnistria .. same as LUKASHENKO of Belarus ... 1 Russian soldier dies and ................... Also rumours of dodgy goings on in Georgia again Russia's next target? along with Moldova! CHECHNIA butcher/ dictator Putrids "righthand man" for evil deeds has serious illness ...

    the Chechnya butcher .. possibly he has been poisoned!
    The majority of Russians liv ing outside of the 5 or 6 main Cities are totally dependant on news feeds from the Kremlin. They are like patients in the old time mental institutes... where they were fed drugs every day to make them docile and believe everything done for them is for the better good.[ thank god those institutions in the modern world are long gone or now civilised ] Russia is a so called modern day first class country with opportunities for all ... it is not outside the main cities. The people are very poor do as they are told and the Kremlin keeps them alive, well until they need canon fodder when they tell these people "we are being invaded and need you to defend the motherland" When the 300k conscripts were called 2/3rds were instant from far flung places .. the other 1/3rd was the remnants of those in the savvy world that didnt flee! In years to come Russian women will outnumber men 2 to 1. Thought I read somewhere that it was already that,from past events so might be 3 to 1!
    It has been muted that it is possible to ensure every [ almost ] pregnancy can be manufactured by "modification" to select baby is male or female??? I wonder if that will be be Putrids plan in the future?

    spoke with, contact with friend home for 2 weeks ..
    "says cynicalism of the Russians" it is believed that some 5 figure number, 000's ] of wagner ex convicts have been killed and Russia cant realistically take any survivors back as they have no rule/ law etc to give pardons. So suits Russian army to use them to eliminate as many front line Ukranian troops as possible with real Russian losses minimised. [ hence supplying no ammo!] except for a hand gun and a shovel!!!! commented that the loss ratio of Wagner/ Russian is likely approaching double figures to 1 ....
    Travels back Weds / Thursday but not to Ukraine in the short term!

    after a long pause 81 missiles / drones launched and not many shot down usually 85 - 90% are, were Ukranians getting less attentive!
    IAEA's Grossi was very terse about what he thought 6 times Russia has targeted the electric supply to the Zaphorititzia plant and put the emergency generators on line. APPARENTLY if a mishap here, would affect mostly Russian troops in the area but area would then be out of bounds unlike Chernobyl which exploded when in full production.
    The security of EU and parts of middle east is looking more and more dodgy little bites by Kremlin at Moldova / Georgia / Tadikstan/ Azerbaijan LOOKING LIKE PUTRID IS TRYING TO JOIN UP ALL THE DOTS

    That was the plan all along and he will continue to nibble away at the small fry until he is stopped - just like Hitler wasn't. The West has to strengthen it's resolve or the Soviet Union will return and the danger is WW3 if we're not careful are scary to say the least. Unless someone decides enough is enough with Putin and his deadly games and does something drastic to dent his hopes of success, would someone turn out the lights and close the door on democracy as we know it. Europe may be on their own on this one because as soon as the Republicans gain control of the U.S. support from them will disappear or fall to an unsustainable level. The next 6 months are crucial if we want the world to stop being destroyed by controlling and murderous thugs. I really fear for the future awaiting my lovely grandchildren and for the years beyond.

    Bullies and aggressors tend to try things on.. believe they are invincible and attempt get what they from generating fear and using threats postures and physical violence. Probably say they are in the same tin of evil, lowest human individuals that contain Child molesters, rapists, murderers thieves and partner beaters!

    So far 2 days in we have seen Putrids intentions flex, molested a drone causing it crash .. think about it dumps fuel on it then tries to ignite by flying close but hitting it damaging propellor .. Pretty thick pilots trying to set fuel on fire with a jet engine .... fire needs 02 to burn and exhaust from jet doesnt have any!..??? Then the day after start flying their largest planes [ 2 ] as close to NATO "LAND" AS POSSIBLE! maybe even encroaching upon it.
    Obviously looking for the next toys to be thrown from his prams to justify missiles attacking public/ civilian infra structure in UKRAINE. He likely sits in Kremlin typing up next orders for the state owned media to publish .. say the latest missile barrage was for the spying mission // or buzzing my planes ... his intentions to bate the west to escalate the war. the result would be the supply lines through Poland and Germany?

    He is getting impatient, he told the general in charge he wanted total control of the Donbas by 31st March .. and halfway there ... in days ... but not gains

    At least one person has been killed and two injured in a fire at a building used by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, Russian media say.
    Dramatic footage on social media shows a large blaze, with smoke visible all over the city.
    Rostov's regional governor said a short circuit appeared to have caused the fire, which ignited fuel tanks. Well fancy that "who got the wires crossed? ... Anti Kremlin brigade strikes again?

    Rostov-on-Don is the capital of a southern Russian region bordering on the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, currently the scene of intense fighting in the war.
    There have been a spate of arson attacks on government buildings in Russia, such as enlistment and conscription offices, since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
    Ukraine denied involvement in the fire.
    Presidential aide Mykhaylo Podolyak said on Twitter that the incident was a "manifestation of panic" in Russia. "Ukraine doesn't interfere, but watches with pleasure," he said.

    Must be quite easy to infiltrate Russia nowadays, aged or female! as they give away Russian passports like throwing confetti at a wedding! takes a matter of hours to get one!
