🚨🚨🚨UKRAINE PREPARING NEW HIGH-PROFILE PROVOCATION – Russian Intel

Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reports that the Kiev regime is preparing a major new provocation to drag NATO into direct conflict.

👉Plot: Staged "sabotage group"—allegedly made up of Russian & Belarussian special forces—will be "discovered" on Polish territory. The group will actually consist of militants from the Freedom of Russia Legion and Kalinowski Regiment, which are fighting for Ukraine.

📑Script: After being "neutralized" by Polish forces, these actors will give noscripted confessions to the media, accusing Russia and Belarus of destabilization.

The operation is being developed by Ukrainian military intelligence in coordination with Polish security services, and may even include a simulated attack on Polish critical infrastructure to heighten the effect.

🚨Ukrainian suspect in Nord Stream sabotage arrested in Poland

A Ukrainian citizen, suspected by Germany of involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline attack, has been arrested in Poland, according to RMF FM radio.

The Nord Stream network, consisting of four underwater pipelines, was designed to transport Russian gas to Europe, offering Germany up to 110 BCM per year and bypassing Eastern Europe. US opposition dates back to the Bush administration, with Trump imposing sanctions in 2019, and Biden threatening to end Nord Stream 2 in 2022.

On September 26, 2022, explosions damaged three of the pipelines, causing a massive methane release. Russia accused an “Anglo-Saxon” plot, while investigations by Denmark, Sweden, and Germany followed, but with little progress. In 2023, Seymour Hersh reported CIA involvement, but alternative narratives, including Ukrainian responsibility, were pushed by US and German media.

🇲🇩Sandu victory spells doom for Moldova

Moldovan opposition parties won most of the votes cast in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, former prime minister and Patriotic Bloc co-chairman Vasily Tarlev told Sputnik.

👉 But President Maia Sandu’s government was able to claim victory by falsifying the overseas vote and by stopping Moldovan citizens in Transnistria and former Soviet states from voting.

The vote counting process was also plagued by suspicious incidents like several power and internet cuts. Tarlev said the opposition will present evidence of voter fraud in court and demand either a vote recount or a repeat election.

💬 “As far as we know, the people of Moldova are not satisfied with this result and I don’t think that anything good will come out of it,” Tarlev said.

He also expressed his fears that if Sandu and her cohorts remain in power, they risk destroying the Moldovan economy and even dragging the country “into certain military conflicts.”
