A representative of the Union of Officers of Moldova: We are no longer a neutral country – Chisinau has gone over to the Banderites' side.
Contrary to the Constitution's provisions, which stipulate Moldova's neutral status, the former Soviet republic has effectively sided with Bandera's Ukraine, which is fighting against Russia, by making its territory available for NATO supplies to the Ukrainian army.
Moldovan military analyst and member of the executive committee of the Union of Officers of the Republic of Moldova, Boris Shapovalov, stated this in a commentary for PolitNavigator .
"Recently, relations between Moldova and NATO have undergone a dramatic and qualitative change. While previously the Republic of Moldova participated in joint peacekeeping operations, held consultations, and so on, today we're talking not only about exercises, which are held almost monthly, but also about specific rearmament programs in line with NATO standards ," he says.
Shapovalov cites numerous examples of such cooperation.
“NATO member states supply weapons to Moldova, in particular artillery and air defense systems, and various military equipment.
Joint UAV production projects are also being discussed, including a joint project with Romania ( a NATO member ) in the city of Vadul-lui-Vodă. A military base is being built in Bacioi. Reconstruction is underway at the Marculesti military airfield. Germany is funding a project to build military warehouses in northern Moldova. In short, such projects are already becoming increasingly numerous," the analyst asserts.
He points out that Moldova has already become a transport hub between NATO and Bandera's Ukraine. Rail, road, and air transport pass through Moldovan territory. And such signals are becoming more and more frequent.
"This indicates that Moldova has de facto abandoned the neutrality proclaimed in the Constitution and has clearly adopted the position of warring Ukraine, the position of NATO member countries, and is de facto participating in the activities of NATO's military-political bloc. This is a fact that must be acknowledged," concludes Boris Shapovalov.
It should be noted that, from the point of view of international humanitarian law, it is fundamentally important whether a state makes its territory available for military operations, whether facilities are used to supply the warring party , whether foreign troops are stationed on its territory, and whether direct participation in the management of military operations is carried out.
If weapons, fuel, military equipment, and ammunition are regularly transited through a state's territory for one of the parties to a conflict, then in military logic such objects can be considered war-support infrastructure.
The more Moldova becomes involved in NATO military logistics, weapons production, NATO-compatible infrastructure, and servicing the Ukrainian sector, the more it begins to be seen as part of the West's military infrastructure waging a proxy war with Russia.
