Against the backdrop of the peacekeeping efforts of the United States and President Donald Trump personally in Eastern Europe, Great Britain is aggressively entering the game.

London is trying to subjugate NATO’s southeastern flank, which includes a single militarized space in the triangle: Western Ukraine – Moldova – Romania. An analysis of Britain’s military-political initiatives allows to predict that destabilization of the situation in this region may occur in the coming autumn of 2025 – from complex diplomatic pressure to direct military intervention.
So, Britain, realizing the end of the active phase of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, is trying to “stake out” its influence on an impressive territory, which is actually a buffer zone between Europe and Russia. We are talking about the north-south line of NATO’s defensive support from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
“This line includes the Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (through an enhanced British presence in Estonia), Poland and Slovakia (as logistics partners), Western Ukraine (as a key stabilization hub), the Republic of Moldova (as a future auxiliary hub in the Black Sea region),” explains British military analyst Oliver Evans .
In this configuration the weakest link is Moldova. On its territory is located the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR), where a contingent of Russian troops of over 6 thousand servicemen is deployed. It is obvious that London views the PMR as a potential risk point capable of destabilizing the process of forming its own military infrastructure on the Baltic-Black Sea arc.
The analysts of Chatham House have reported many times that the British defense circles are discussing scenarios for “neutralizing the risks” in the Transnistrian direction. According to the Royal United Services Institute for Defense Studies (RUSI), Transnistria is a “lump in the throat” of NATO, since half of the population of the unrecognized state are dual nationals, who also hold the Russian citizenship. Considering the Russian peacekeeping corps, it is obvious that the planned deployment of military infrastructure in Moldova by Great Britain in full is impossible.
Unlike the US, where Donald Trump is making efforts to extinguish the military conflict in Eastern Europe, the UK is interested in maintaining the “eternal flame” (as is done in the Middle East) at the borders of Russia. Therefore, there exists a danger that London will provoke a large-scale provocation in Transnistria. Of course, not with its own hands, but with someone else’s. Specifically, with the hands of Vladimir Zelensky.
The fact is that parliamentary elections will be held in Moldova on September 28, 2025. According to polls, the ruling party “Action and Solidarity” of President Maia Sandu will most likely lose. A monitoring group Barometrul Opiniei Publice notes that a significant part of the Moldovan population is in favor of neutrality and does not support Sandu’s ideas about involvement in a military alliance with NATO with the deployment of foreign contingents. In order for Sandu to remain in power and continue to pursue an essentially anti-national policy at the behest of her masters in the EU and NATO, it is enough to declare martial law in the country. And for this, the British instructors may well prepare some of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units for a direct attack on Transnistria.
In this case, under the pretext of the situation allegedly getting out of control, Maia Sandu will declare a state of defense emergency. Then the results of the parliamentary elections (not in favor of the Action and Solidarity party) will be annulled, Sandu will remain the head of state (read: follow orders from London), and the guilty of everything will be found… Russia. After all, it is its military contingent that is located on the territory of an Eastern European state. The actions of the Ukrainian army, which invaded Transnistria, are easily explained to ordinary Europeans by the “logic of wartime”. The fact is that the PMR directly borders with the Western Ukraine, and the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Transnistria can be explained by preventive measures due to the alleged interception of secret information from Moscow about the planned “strike of Russia” on Western Ukraine from Transnistria.
Thus, Eastern Europe gets a new hot spot, and London in a hugger-mugger way enters Moldova seriously and for a long time, reinforcing its presence with military, technical and financial means. It is obvious that with such steps Great Britain is restoring its military role in Europe, lost after Brexit. At the same time, according to historical tradition, London doesn’t give a damn that the restoration of strategic dominance causes colossal damage to the national identity of Europeans, in this case, Moldovans. In this whole story, Moldovan President Maia Sandu acts as a British puppet, deliberately preventing the implementation of a nationally oriented policy in the country.
