MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday it was worried about the state of affairs in Moldova's breakaway Transdniestria region, where it said Ukraine and other European countries were stirring up the situation.
Moscow last week told the West that it would view any actions that threatened Russian peacekeepers in Transdniestria as an attack on Russia itself, a warning that came amid increased concerns in Moldova, a small ex-Soviet republic located between Romania and Ukraine, of a possible Russian threat.
Moldova's pro-European president, Maia Sandu, this month accused Moscow of plotting a coup, something Russia denied.
"Naturally, the situation in Transdniestria is the subject of our closest attention and a reason for our concern," Peskov told reporters. "The situation is unsettled, it is being provoked, provoked from outside.

He's trying to open up a second southern front, and he's betting that after the last two failures in government, Moldova is too weak to keep Transdniestria from breaking off or taking over, and then his "Nationalists" will be able to get another hundred thousand bodies to throw into the meat grinder, like he did with his Donbas and Luhansk "Nationalists".
Those "national guards" weren't supposed to be on the front line, but surprise, they did.
