Exposed Russian false flag for Transnistria
The gist: Transnistria (legally part of Moldova but occupied with Russian troops) pre-prints a newspaper about alleged terrorist attacks attributed to Ukrainians in a false flag operation. Newspaper is dated 2 May, Ukraine intelligence obtained the leaked newspaper and published it on 1 May.

Another provocation of the Russian Federation: a newspaper about the “bloody terrorist attacks” has already been printed in Pridnestrovie for the May holidays
On the territory of the unrecognized PMR, a large circulation of the newspaper "Pridnestrovie" was printed, which is dated May 2, 2022.
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the newspaper contains a number of articles about "bloody terrorist attacks that hit Pridnestrovians on the May holidays." We are talking about "dozens of those killed, including children, the elderly and women."
“Since the newspaper was published on the eve of the holidays, there is a danger that the Kremlin authorities are planning to carry out a series of acts of intimidation among the local population, for which they will traditionally lay responsibility on “Ukraine and the collective West,” intelligence noted.
Also, the newspaper published an article "Official appeal of the inhabitants of the PMR to the President of the Russian Federation Putin."
In the text, the leadership of the unrecognized Transnistria asks "to involve the armed forces of the PMR in the actions of the Russian army." To do this, "mobilization points" are being opened on the territory of Russia itself to recruit volunteers to fight in the army of Transnistria.
“By such actions, the leadership of the Russian Federation can prepare a new springboard for aggression against Ukraine and the basis for the “official” occupation of part of the territory of independent Moldova,” the GUR added.
DEATH TO THE RUSSIAN OCCUPANTS!

Those Russian troops will have their livers and kidneys--not to mention their accessible asses--handed to them.
Transdnistria is a botch and blight on the face of the chancre that is un-reconstructed post-Soviet Soviet-space.
It will solve the PMR problem. An intelligent and capable Ukr army will easily manage to dispose of the idjitarians, and show good will by yielding the territory to their new BFFs, Moldova. As before, I'll show my fascist underside by saying, "All transdnistrovians will be given a 5-year window of opportunity to emigrate, no questions asked, and perhaps with a stipend worth many, many rubles or several dollars. After that, pro-Russo-Soviet agitation and actions will be greeted by a death sentence. Enjoy!" Allow anti-human political parties only after 20 years. Yeah, there's the problem of figuring out what "anti-human" means, so let's blame the gin.
But, seriously, плацдарм does *not* mean "springboard." Go ogle at your own risk. What you ogle may not be something that's quite appropriate. Ahem.
It's from "place d'armes" via non-French. Originally parade grounds, it's undergone semantic spread. Think "arena" in the military sense, or non-Shakespearean "theater". The Verdun was not a springboard, there was no Battle of the Springboard ("bulge"
. Indulging in the etymological fallacy, the courtyard before Buckingham and Pretty Square are still not springboards. (By "Pretty square," since I'm doing the etymological fallacy to the hilt--"Red Square" meant "Pretty Square" centuries ago.)
