US Deployment to Moldova - Securing Moldova's FutureHundreds of US troops have either arrived in or are on their way to Moldova to support the rightly elected democratic government in its endeavours to thwart this Russian backed aggression in the region. This, on the back of Russian advances in Ukraine, further highlights Vladamir Putin's attempted power grab in the region.
The emergency deployment, at the behest of the Romanian government and the begrudging consent of the Moldovan government, has been supported by the European Union. The US Department of State has come out and stated that, “The United States Government, and the Department of Defense - directed by the Commander-in-Chief, will do everything in its power to ensure that the rightful government of Korsac and Zimnitrita is returned.”
Initial reports indicate that rebel troops, armed, trained and equipped by Russia, have begun preparations to counter American efforts. No information has been reported at this early stage as to the makeup of the US response, but initial information indicates that at least an Infantry Company with supporting assets has arrived in the country.
The United States is “prepared” to continue to deploy troops to Moldova and Romania as part if the crisis in the country worsens, though officials are not actively considering such a move, according to representatives of the office of General Christopher G. Ravioli - Commander, U.S. European Command.
These comments highlight the extent of Moldova's current crisis, in which the government in the disputed southern provinces of Korsac and Zimnitrita has all but fallen apart in the face of armed groups that are now preventing, Maia Sandu — the country’s internationally recognized leader and outspoken anti Russian president from taking unilateral action. A bilateral or trilateral response with Romania, may be the only way of ousting the rebel movement.
GNN has attempted to contact rebel leader - Vladislav Bulat for comment, but so far have been unsuccessful.
The US has more than 200,000 military troops deployed overseas on permanent or long-term rotational (typically 3-9 months) deployments; this deployment is the first to this area, and the first into an active warzone, for some time.
