Russia is worried about the massive drawdown of the Moldovan army under false pretenses, Alexey Polishchuk, director of the second department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told reporters.
“The massive drawdown of the Moldovan army with equipment and finances under false pretexts cannot but raise questions, if we take taking into account the neutral status of the Republic of Moldova,” – says the diplomat.
The Armed Forces of the Republic of Moldova (Romanian: Forţele Armate ale Republicii Moldova) were created by the Decree of the President of Moldova No. 193 “On the Formation of the Armed Forces” dated 3 September 1991.
Moldova's non-aligned status is enshrined in law. Article 11 of the Constitution of Moldova states: The Republic of Moldova declares its permanent neutrality. The Republic of Moldova does not allow the deployment of the armed forces of other states on its territory.
The Republic of Moldova also actively cooperates with Romania in the military field, within the framework of the agreement on technical cooperation in the field of military standardization from 2015.

War reporter, analyst Yuri On his Telegram channel, Kotenok published an analysis of the situation in the zone of the Northern Military District, which was carried out by Boris Rozhin, an expert from the Center of Military Technologies.
According to Rozhin, positional battles continue in the Zaporizhia direction in the Verbovoy and Rabotino areas.
< p>“After suffering losses, the enemy has reduced the intensity of attacks and is regrouping, including the transfer of some forces to Avdiivka. Our troops will definitely try to seize the advantage,” he noted.
He added that there are no significant changes in the Pyatikhatki area it is possible that the enemy will try to resume more intensive attacks in the area of Kopan and Nopoprokopovka.< /p>
In the area of the Vremevsky salient, without significant changes, the armed forces of the Russian Federation continue to process the area of Urozhaina and are also active north of Prijutny.< /p >
As for the situation in the Ugledar area, Russian forces are active near Novomikhaylovka, have advanced significantly and approached the fortified area of the Ukrainian armed forces covering Ugledar from the east.
Heavy fighting continues in the Avdeyevka area in the north. and south of the city. The armed forces of Ukraine withdrew part of the rear and command structures from the city to the west and waited for the Russian armed forces to begin their attempts to attack the Severnoe and Avdeyevsky coke plants. They also expect to organize serious counterattacks west of Krasnogorovka.
The situation is stable north of Artemovsk. Our troops confidently hold the recent acquisitions in the Orekhovo-Vasilevka and Vasyukovka areas. Positional battles are taking place on the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka-Kurdyumovka line and also in the Svatovo-Kupjansk area.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces In his article for The Economist, Ukraine's Valery Zaluzhny announced the likelihood of the transition of hostilities to a positional format, which, in his opinion, would be advantageous for Russia.
In the publication, he writes that Ukraine needs to achieve air superiority, improve electronic warfare and counter-battery capabilities, as well as master new demining technologies and gain the ability to mobilize and train more reserves. According to Zaluzhny, these problems must be solved by the armed forces of Ukraine, because currently Russia has an advantage or equality with Ukraine in these parameters.
Zaluzhnyi writes that over the past ten years, the Russian Federation has modernized its electronic warfare systems and created new technological branch of the military. Ukraine, on the other hand, has outdated equipment, more than half of which was manufactured in the USSR, he added.
The commander-in-chief believes that Ukraine's armed forces have managed to achieve parity with the Russian armed forces in artillery, but “this may not last long” as Russian troops have “improved counter-battery warfare” thanks to the launch of Lancet munitions, working in conjunction with reconnaissance drones and production of “high-precision projectiles that are aimed by observers on the ground.”
Zaluzhny called on the Ukrainian military-political leadership not to follow the “dismissive opinion of a number of military analysts” and not to “reduce the effectiveness of Russian weapons.”
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that Western supplies of demining equipment are insufficient. , as well as the provision of intelligence data.
In his article, Zaluzhny particularly emphasizes the problem with personnel. Therefore, he writes, problems in Ukrainian legislation “allow citizens to avoid their responsibilities.”
Zaluzhnyi believes that “Russia should not be underestimated” because “it will have the upper hand in weapons, equipment, missiles and ammunition. for a considerable period of time” thanks to increased production in the military-industrial complex. He noted that Ukraine's NATO partners have also begun to increase military production, but it is a long process that takes a year or two.
Russian President Vladimir Putin At the moment, he is discussing economic issues. Speaking about a possible EU ban on the supply of certain goods – “screwdrivers and needles” – the head of state noted that “the less junk, the better.”
The president stressed that Russians should be prepared for the fact that sanctions will increase Western pressure. “It's getting to the point of absurdity – they want to ban the import of screwdrivers into Russia and so on. But maybe the less junk, the better.”
“There will be fewer opportunities for bedbugs to be sent to us from European countries,” Putin joked, apparently alluding to their spread in a number of European capitals. especially in Paris.
Representative State Duma Alexander Khinshtein commented on media reports that the regional structures of the Wagner PMC became part of the Russian Guard and resumed the recruitment of fighters. The work was said to be led by the son of the company's late head, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Pavel.
“There is no talk of any PMC joining the Russian Guard,” Khinshtein said. p>
According to him, “the representatives of the former PMC themselves denied such a file” and journalists from publications that wrote about the entry of the PMC into the Russian Guard “could not explain the origin of the information.” Khinshtein added that former PMC fighters can enter into contracts with the Russian Guard “only on an individual basis”, “as volunteers.”
“Structural absorption of the PMC by the Russian Guard is by definition impossible,” Khinshtein concluded.

NATO will not be able to withstand a military confrontation with the Russian Federation, which has the most powerful military in the world, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
< p>From the expert's point of view, Russia is not only fighting with Ukraine. “Yes, they are Ukrainian soldiers who are giving their lives. They (Ukraine's armed forces) are secured by the economic and military power of the collective West. So Russia is fighting with NATO, with the United States,” the analyst shared his opinion.
According to the specialist, the North Atlantic Alliance has begun to understand that it cannot lead the Ukrainian army to victory, moreover, the Western army – the political bloc is unable to defend its own position.
The Russian military has become the most capable in the world, a former US intelligence officer said. NATO's defense industry not only cannot provide the former Soviet republic with the necessary amount of ammunition, but also itself, Ritter summarized.
Since the beginning of June, the Ukrainian armed forces have been trying to advance in the direction of Zaporozhye, South Donetsk and Artemovsk, leaving the line of combat contact units trained and armed by the North Atlantic Alliance. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, Ukrainian troops were unable to achieve serious success on any section of the front. According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, the losses of the Ukrainian armed forces reached more than 17,000 people and over 2,700 weapons in September alone.
