Putin's chilling plot to march 10,000 troops into ANOTHER European nation revealed by its PM… & it could spiral into WW3
RUSSIA reportedly plans to deploy 10,000 troops into a breakaway region of another Eastern European nation - igniting fears of Putin's war spilling further across the continent. Moldova's Prime Minister has warned the Kremlin wants to march troops into Transnistria - a Moscow-friendly enclave that's internationally recognised as part of Moldova.

The region's location between the pro-Europe governments in Moldova and Ukraine make it impossible for Putin to get soldiers in at present. While Moldova currently has an EU-friendly government, its PM has said Russia is meddling in its upcoming election this September. Advertisement read more on russia Prime Minister Dorin Recean told the FT this is likely in the hope that a more pro-Kremlin government might allow for Russian troops to be sent to Transnistria. "This is a huge effort to undermine Moldovan democracy," he told the paper. "They want to consolidate their military presence in the Transnistrian region." Russian troops have been based in Transnistria since 1992, when the Kremlin supported the region in its war of independence from Moldova. Advertisement Most read in The US Sun However, the numbers have substantially wound down over the years, with there currently only being about 1,500 soldiers fighting under the Russian banner. But only a few of these will have actually been sent by Moscow, with most being locals who signed up. Deranged Putin lays out wish list of 'surrender demands' for Ukraine… despite being humbled by Russia's 'Pearl Harbour' Transnistria isn't internationally recognised as an independent state, and is not a member of the UN. Think tank The Institute for the Study of War forecast last October that Russia might use its ties to Transnistria "to establish long-term influence over Moldovan domestic and foreign policies". Advertisement Recean further highlighted the ominous military threats to Ukraine and NATO that could arise from extra Russian troops in the region. Its location to Ukraine's southwest could raise fresh headaches for Kyiv if Russia used Transnistria to open up a new front in the war. "You can imagine with 10,000 troops, what the leverage and pressure would be on the southwestern part of Ukraine," he said. But Recean also noted the area's proximity to Romania , which is a NATO country. Advertisement If Russian forces threatened or attacked Romania - or any other NATO member - then the entire alliance would be obliged to come to its aid. NATO Article 5 sets out that an attack on one member state is an attack on all, meaning Russian attacks against a NATO country could quickly spiral into all-out war. Transnistria's history Transnistria is a tiny slither of land along Moldova's border with Ukraine The region has been controlled by Russian backed separatists for decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It declared independence in 1990, which was followed by a war that saw Russia support Transnistria's independence. Moscow has maintained a strong military presence in the territory since 1992. Many of Transnistria's political leaders have long voiced their intent for the region to become a part of Russia. But it still remains internationally recognised as part of Moldova - a country that seeks closer co-operation with the EU. Transnistria has a population of around 465,000. Fears of a war between the West and Russia over Transnistria have been amplified by the separatist region's leader Vadim Krasnoselsky. He told the Russian TASS news agency: "A war in Transnistria would mean a direct conflict between Russia and NATO. Advertisement "I don't have the slightest doubt about it. Everything is closely intertwined here. "Both Romania, a NATO member, and the Russian Federation have interests here." Recean added that the 10,000-troop figure was based on intelligence assessments. "Currently, their forces there are almost meaningless," he said. Advertisement "But with a higher military presence in Transnistria that a Russia-leaning government can allow for, they can consolidate." Moldova was part of the Soviet Union before its collapse in 1991. In recent years, it has sought to pursue closer ties with the European Union, and became an official candidate to join the EU in 2022. A referendum held last year committing Moldova on its path to EU membership passed by just 0.7% of the vote amid what was widely believed to be a Russian interference campaign. Advertisement Recean told the FT that Russia spent the equivalent of 1% of Moldova's GDP on influence campaigns in 2024. 7 A billboard reading 'Russia in our hearts' sits on the side of a road in the town of Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria Credit: AFP 7 Russian servicemen riding atop a self-propelled gun at an area in the Kursk region, Russia Credit: EPA

He hurled abuse at the press while being walked to a holding cell. In February, Float laughed and mugged for the cameras when Indonesian police paraded him and two other Brits before the media following their arrests. He and his Brit co-accused, Jon Collyer 37 and Lisa Stocker, 39, both of Gillingham, Kent, are charged with attempting to smuggle cocaine with a value of £300,000 and disguised as Angel Delights into Bali on February 1. read more news Stocker and Collyer allegedly brought the drugs into Bali's Ngurah Rai international airport via Doha airport in Qatar. The pair was arrested at the airport when security officials discovered suspicious items in their suitcase during a random x-ray. Police claim that airport security seized 994.56g of cocaine in a sealed blue plastic Angel Delight packets in Collyer's suitcase. Cops allege that more cocaine was found in Stocker's bag. Most read in The Sun Float was expected to meet Collyer and Stocker at the airport.
