"German left"Asking Russia to send troops to protect, one is being planned"Superstorms"The situation?According to Russia's TASS news agency, on February 28, local time, the congress was held in the "Transnistrian Moldavian Republic", which actually controls the "German left" region, and they asked Russia to protect the region from economic pressure from Moldova**.
The latest parliamentary resolution states that "taking into account the fact that 220,000 Russian citizens live permanently in the territory of" the Deleft Republic ' , as well as Russia's experience in maintaining peace in Transnistria, the congress agreed to send an appeal to the Federation Council of Russia and the State Duma for Russian measures to protect Transnistria in the face of constant pressure from Moldova**".
The Russian Satellite News Agency reported that in response to the resolution of the "German Left" regional parliament requesting Russian protection, Russia said: "The protection of the 'German Republic', our compatriots is one of the priorities, and the relevant Russian departments have always paid attention to and considered all requests." This is the situation known as the "German-Left Storm".
To understand this event, it is first necessary to look at the map and figure out the background of the "German-left" area.
Transnistria"Usually referring to the region on the left side of the Dniester River, the appellation is linguistically distinctly Russian. In general, we use the terms east, west, south and north to describe the area along the river, but the Russian language uses a different expression, which divides the river bank into the left bank and the right bank according to the direction of the river, standing in the direction facing the mouth of the sea. The left bank is the left bank, and the right bank is the right bank. In this way, it can be clearly represented"Transnistria"That is, the area on the left side of the river.
As you can see from the map, this region is surrounded by Moldova and Ukraine, and is a narrow area with a total area of just over 4,000 square kilometers and a population of 690,000 people, which is a relatively small and closed area on all sides.
In the past, this place belonged to Moldova, but the main inhabitants were ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. Therefore, at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, this region did not recognize being classified as Moldova. As a result, the inhabitants of the region established an autonomous organization called"Transnistrian Moldavian Republic", abbreviated as:"Transnistrian Republic", thus effectively forming an independent state.
To this day,"Transnistria"There are still 1,500 Russian peacekeepers. On the coat of arms of the region, you can even see the symbol of the sickle and axe of the Soviet era. Despite its small size, the region is geographically unusually unique, and can be described as an enclave embedded between Ukraine and Moldova.
The 'German-Left Storm' that is brewing is a request for protection from the parliament of the 'Transnistrian Republic', and Russia is responding to the protection of the 'German-Left Republic' as one of its priorities. The Russian side unanimously responded to this, emphasizing that the protection of compatriots in the "German Left Republic" is one of the priorities, in line with Putin's speech when he launched the so-called "special military operation".
In his speech, Putin repeatedly emphasized the word "homecoming" in order to bring Russians scattered on the lands of other countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union back into the Russian family. Now, ethnic Russians in the "German left" area are asking for protection, which is exactly the same as Putin's original slogan of "going home."
Now the key is to see how Russia will protect the "German left".
Earlier, it was rumored that the Ukrainian side was gathering forces and preparing to launch an offensive against the "German left". Naturally, the United States will not sit idly by and watch such incidents. On the 28th, US spokesman Matthew Miller said that the United States is closely monitoring the situation in the "German-left" region that has separated from Moldova.
"Given Russia's increasingly aggressive role in Europe, we are closely monitoring Russia's actions in the "German-left" region and the situation with the rest of the parties, Miller said. The United States strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova within its internationally recognized borders and continues to encourage Moldova and the "German-left" region to work together to find solutions to pressing problems on both sides of the Dniester River.
Of course, Ukraine will not be idle either. According to the "Ukrainska Pravda" newspaper citing the Ukrainian ** office, Ukraine** Zelensky met with Moldovan ** Maya Sandu on the sidelines of the Ukrainian South-East Europe Summit held in Tirana, the capital of Albania, on the 28th. During the talks, recent events in the "German-Left" zone were discussed. During the meeting, the parties also discussed the export of Ukrainian goods through the territory of Moldova, as well as the accession of Ukraine and Moldova to the European Union.
Looking at it now, the situation is very chaotic, and it seems that a "superstorm" is brewing. Why a "superstorm"? If Russia really wants to take back the "German left" region, the ideal way is not to maintain an enclave, but to attack Odessa, so that the "German left" region has a land corridor connected to the Russian mainland.
Once this situation is formed, Ukraine will lose all the land along the Black Sea coast and become a landlocked country. The question now is how Russia will deal with this matter, and what kind of tricks will the United States and Ukraine come up with.
Of course, Russia should be the active party. It is the most ideal plan for Russia to take back the "German Left" and open up a land passage from the Russian mainland to the "German Left" region, but it faces great difficulties.
On the one hand, in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it is necessary to devote a large number of troops in the Kherson, Odessa directions, and seize the two large cities of Mykolaiv and Odessa. The two cities are much larger than the previous Mariupol, and Odessa has been a famous city for defensive operations since history. It will not be easy to make up your mind to capture them. Once this series of actions is completed, the situation of the entire Russian-Ukrainian conflict will change radically, and at the same time, the situation of Russia in the Black Sea region will also completely change. Significant, but equally difficult.
Another way would be to keep the "German-left" region as an enclave on Russian territory, which, however, is clearly not a long-term solution. For Ukraine and the United States, they may be afraid that Russia will be determined to expand the war and open up the land passage to the "German left" in Russia. At the same time, it is hoped that through this process, the Russian army will be severely damaged, the battlefield situation will be improved, and more initiative will be seized in the political and diplomatic fields.
Of course, for Russia, now Ukraine is at a disadvantage, will they be afraid? There must be some concerns inside. As for the United States, will it also be afraid? I'm afraid it's inevitable that I'm a little scared.
"Storm Dezuo" is brewing, but whether it will evolve into a typhoon of 12 or higher depends on the determination of all parties and the development of the situation. In any case, once the "German Left" is triggered, once it expands, it will become a "superstorm."
