Brigadier General Rustam Minnekayev, who commands the Central Military district of Russia, has already announced plans to use Russia’s army to create a land corridor to Crimea, by gaining control of land in eastern and southern Ukraine and in Moldova.
Ukraine armed forces warned in the beginning of April 2022 that Russia was mobilizing its troops in Transnistria, and that Russia had conducted false flag operations in Moldova and nearby Russia that it then claimed were conducted by Ukraine, to justify further Russian military operations.
