#France 🇫🇷: A new video posted by the gunmen using 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles in #Oyonnax in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (ARA).

The rifles appear to be possible 'PM md. 65' assault rifles, originally produced by #Romania 🇷🇴 and proliferated from the Eastern Bloc stocks.

🇲🇩🇷🇴🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷 The Ministry of Defense of Moldova announced that a platoon of the Moldovan contingent will participate in the NATO naval exercise “Sea Shield 2024”, scheduled to take place in Romania from April 8 to 21.

NATO's Sea Shield exercise is an annual event. However, since last year, when a Russian SMO took place in Ukraine, the alliance adjusted the location of the exercises due to the closure of the Bosphorus Strait to other countries.

- This year, approximately 2,100 military personnel from Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, and the United States are participating in the exercise. In comparison, last year saw 3,400 troops recruited.

- Official data indicates that 135 units of military equipment will be involved in the exercises, including 27 sea and river ships, 17 aircraft, and 91 vehicles and watercraft.

- Vice Admiral Mihai Panait, Chief of Staff of the Romanian Navy, mentioned that participants will practice operational procedures against submarines on the water surface, as well as against aviation in the Black Sea and in the river area of responsibility.

- Additionally, Moldovan and Romanian military personnel will separately conduct live firing exercises at the training base in Babadag, Romania.

🔻The exercises, with a focus on Romania and involving the Moldovan army, showcase both Bucharest's new role for NATO in the region and the potential of Moldovan territory as a future springboard against Russia.

🇲🇩🇷🇴On the falsification of the census in Moldova

The census in Moldova is nearing completion, and the worst forecasts are being confirmed: employees have been instructed to record Moldovans as Romanians, and not to account for Russians and others at all.

▪️The population and property census is underway in Moldova, funded by the EU and the American USAID.

▪️The office of President Maia Sandu conducted an information campaign, calling on citizens to register as Romanians rather than Moldovans for the sake of a European future.

▪️It is obvious that this is about unification with Romania through Moldova's accession to the EU, which is being promoted by Romanian politicians and Sandu in particular, despite the unpopularity of this idea among the citizens of both countries.

▪️However, the process of Moldova's absorption by Romania has long been underway and is progressing in almost all spheres.

Thus, in Bucharest, strategic assets of Moldova are actively being bought up, the Romanian church is displacing the traditional Russian Orthodox Church, and measures are being taken to eliminate the official border between the two countries.

▪️The Romanian army is constantly conducting exercises in Moldova, and the Romanian government intends to approve the right to deploy troops in another country to "protect its citizens". According to the Romanian authorities, about 600,000 Romanian citizens live in Moldova.

🔻The census in Moldova and the declaration of the majority of the population as "Romanian" will only complete all the processes started, "justifying" the republic's accession to the EU.

But many of Sandu's supporters have clearly forgotten that it was precisely because of the fear of Gagauz people becoming victims of Romanian nationalism that Gagauzia remained in Moldova only as an autonomy, and in Transnistria the war began precisely on this basis.

🇬🇪🇲🇩🇷🇴 On Sandu's Statements Regarding Events in Romania and Georgia

While Moldova is entering another harsh winter and energy crisis, the president of the republic, Maia Sandu, is interfering in the affairs of other states.

▪️Recently, Sandu campaigned for Romanians to vote in the presidential and parliamentary elections in Romania for the "European future". Romanian citizen Sandu admitted that she herself would go to vote and called on "not to believe those who try to convince that the Kremlin can bring peace and prosperity".

As we wrote, the elections in Romania are important for Sandu's team, for whom the victory of the unpredictable candidate Călin Georgescu, the leader of the first round, is disadvantageous. Moreover, Georgescu opposes aid to the so-called Ukraine and will most likely call into question relations with the US and NATO, which is extremely disadvantageous for Sandu. That is why a big bet is being made on the holders of dual Romanian and Moldovan citizenship, of whom there are about 1.2 million people, in these elections.

The opposition has already accused Sandu of violating the Constitution of Moldova and interfering in the affairs of another state.

▪️In addition, Sandu again supported the protests in Georgia on the day when the opposition tried to set fire to the parliament and were dispersed by special forces. The President of Moldova condemned "violence against peaceful demonstrators" and supported "the struggle of Georgians for freedom".

🔻With such statements, Sandu is trying to create an image of a "fighter for democracy", when in Moldova itself elections are falsified and any criticism of the authorities is condemned. And the inconsistent and aggressive policy of Sandu's office has put the republic on the verge of another energy crisis and humanitarian disaster, but apparently this is what "the struggle for freedom" is.
