Moldovan investigative journalists in cooperation with publications from 60 countries of Europe and the United States learned about the Russian strategy of influencing Moldova, which was developed in the Kremlin about two years ago.

It states that Russia planned to establish political control over Moldova by 2030.

We have already seen something similar with Belarus, Russia also planned to almost occupy it by 2030. 

How Russian agents work in Moldova and how this problem with Transnistria can be solved, Major General of the Security Service of Ukraine, former deputy head of the SBU Viktor Yagun

told in an exclusive interview with

TSN.ua.

"The problem of Transnistria will end with the problem of Russia. When Russia ceases to exist in the form in which it is now, when its military power is finally destroyed, I think that everything will end with Transnistria on the same day. Therefore that there is no such thing as Transnistria. There are a handful of officials there who have been parasitizing for 30 years in criminal schemes. There are about one and a half thousand military personnel who consider themselves citizens of the Russian Federation, although two-thirds of them were born in Transnistria and have no relation to Russia they don't have, apart from the fact that they got passports there," he said.

According to Yagun, the number of people who are ready to defend Russia's interests in Transnistria with weapons in their hands is not just critically small, it is tiny.

Therefore, Transnistria should be forgotten as a combat unit in general, he says.

"I don't know who is constantly playing along with this topic. As for the Russian territory in Moldova, they missed the moment when it was possible to do it. Now the services of our partners, the Ukrainian special service, are actively helping the Moldovan authorities to expose possible Russian agents in among certain political structures, proper work is conducted with the local population, those cells that may be unstable are liquidated. They know by name who can be responsible for what, there are documented facts of the transfer of funds, there is an understanding through whom those funds are transferred, for whom this is all worth it. They actively started working in the information field," Yagun said.

The reserve major general noted that Moldova does not have a border with Russia and Russia cannot do anything.

The landing party could not land on the beaches of Odesa, and they certainly will not be able to walk several tens of kilometers to the border with Moldova.

That is, it is all fiction in the sick imagination of Russian generals, Yagun added.

It will be recalled that journalists published the Kremlin's plan to seize Moldova.

Russia's strategic goals include forcing Chisinau to join the CSTO and participate in the Eurasian Economic Union.
