That’s clearly problematic. They plan to take over Moldova the same way they have taken over Belarus — by installing a puppet government and having the new regime invite them in. So they slowly but surely try to infiltrate their people into the country to set up a coup. x According to Border Police a man who was linked to the Wagner Private Military Group was arrested trying to enter the Republic of Moldova from Chisinau International Airport last week. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) March 12, 2023 x This comes after U.S. and Moldovan Officials have stated they believe Russian Intelligence Services are attempting to sow Civil Unrest in the Country to cause the Overthrow of the current Pro-Western Government. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) March 12, 2023 Speaking of which: x Palpable enthusiasm amongst the young, vibrant, and diverse crowd. pic.twitter.com/xjAZxwDnTo — Valentin Potra (@ProfessorP5) March 12, 2023 x 🇲🇩Moldovan authorities are publishing photos of the most violent detainees during today's pro-Russian protests on a daily basis.

Ukraine burns through 7,000 shells a day. The US plans to go from a capacity of about 14k shells a month to 90k, but that will take a few years. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth separately told reporters that the U.S. will go from making 14,000 155mm shells each month to 20,000 by later this year and 40,000 by 2025. “We are in a position to support Ukraine, but it’s more the mid and long term,” Doug Bush, the assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, technology and logistics, said in the report. “By creating this capacity … if this war goes three or four years, we’ll be in a position to just vastly outproduce the Russians all by ourselves ― and if you combine that with our allies, then we’re just dwarfing their capability. They won’t be able to keep up,” he added. The EU is also ramping up production, but it is still a daunting task. x Ukraine is on an artillery shell diet, but still is firing more rounds than the West can produce. The EU, proposing the use of joint funding, is trying to ginger up production, but it takes a lot of time.
