UkranianMilitary Expert Igal Levin Advises Liberation of Transnistria
A renowned military analyst, Igal Levin, has a strategic proposal for the Ukrainian armed forces. Speaking on Radio NV’s YouTube channel, Levin suggested that the Ukrainian military considers liberating Transnistria next.
"Ukraine could straightforwardly oust Russian troops from Transnistrian territory," Levin stated. According to him, this would not require Moldovan authorities’ approval, as "Transnistria is temporarily Russian-occupied," making Ukrainian operations there a mere response to occupation.
Levin echoed sentiments recently expressed by Ukrainian volunteer Tarach Chatmuta, but expressed surprise at the inactivity. "No one seems to have responded [to his ideas]," he said, raising the question about the plan of action, especially since the location is ‘very obvious’ and ‘an integral part’ for Ukrainian military offensives.
Dispelling skepticism regarding any need for a Moldovan "green light", Levin countered firmly, "Since when did Moscow ask for such permission?" With Ukrainian territorial integrity under sustained threat from its neighbor, it’s evident Moscow holds Moldova’s independence "in the firing line." As to their fate, Levin adds, "Whatever happens with Donbas will definitely happen in Crimea and elsewhere later."
