Is the war in Ukraine spreading?
Mysterious explosions in Transnistria, a breakaway Russian-controlled territory in Moldova bordering on Ukraine, have raised fears that the Ukraine conflict may be spreading.
"But we understand their capabilities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready for this and are not afraid of them," Mr Zelensky said on Tuesday.A flare-up in Transnistria could destabilise Moldova and open up a new front in the Ukraine war. Odesa, Ukraine's key port city, lies just east of Transnistria.
Today Moldova's closest ally is Romania but, unlike Romania, Moldova is not in Nato or the EU. Many Moldovans have Romanian passports and work in the EU.Moldova's President Maia Sandu is strongly pro-EU, but her predecessor Igor Dodon - who still has many supporters - was pro-Russian.
