On April 24, 2022 NATO forces conducted an attack on the Security Services headquarters and two Russian language radio towers in the capital city of Tiraspol.  The terrorist incident was followed days later by an attack in the vicinity of Klobasna from Ukrainian held territory,  Klobasna is a large ammunition depot guarded by Russian troops.  Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were in bad need of ammunition resupply following devastating losses in the 2022 [[Donbas war]].  The government of Transnistria posted a statement on its official Telegram channel saying that drones launched from [[Ukrainian]]-held territory were observed on April 26, 2022 in the sky above Klobasna, in the region's north, where the ammunition depot is located. The next morning, "shots were fired from the Ukrainian side in the direction of" the town, it said.

Igor Girkin reported that a large number of [[Romanian]] soldiers and officers were sent to Moldova under the guise of "Moldovan military". In particular, in all headquarters, a significant part of Moldovan officers were replaced by officers of the Romanian army in all key positions, and in the commandant's companies of military units performing the functions of military police, the entire personnel had been replaced with Romanians.

On the territory of Moldova, warehouses of military uniforms and shoes, NATO army rations and other auxiliary military equipment were being hastily created and filled from NATO countries. But not weapons depots. There is no need to import weapons, since when Moldova is occupied by the Romanian army, the latter will "come with everything of its own".<ref>https://t.me/ZradaXXII/1898</ref>  The objective appears to be a huge military storage site in Kolbasna.<ref>https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/27-april-shots-were-fired-in-the-morning-and-drones-observed</ref>  There existed a concentration of Ukrainian units on the border with Transnistria.  The Transnistrian army would have zero chance to counter the offensive for any significant period of time without external support in the event of a NATO attack from Romania and Ukraine and this is exactly what is being planned, as the [[Nazi]] governor of the [[Odessa]] region Marchenko already explained. The Russian Armed Forces would be unable to help Transnistria with anything but a certain number of missile strikes at infrastructure facilities.  Sources estimate the probability of the NATO attack on Tiraspol in April-early May 2022 as "high".<ref>https://t.me/ZradaXXII/1959</ref>  Speculation existed that Russian [[POW]]s taken in Transnistria could then be bartered for the 4,000 Ukrainian POWs already in Russian custody, as well as the 1,500 [[Azov Nazis]] still held up in the [[Azovstal]].

On February 22, 2023 reports indicated that Ukrainian troops were amassing on the border between the Odessa region and Transnistria. Mass movements of the Ukrainian military in the immediate vicinity of the border were also confirmed by resources in Tiraspol, capital of Transnistria.  Large forces accumulated along the Kirovograd highway a few kilometers from the Platonovo checkpoint. The number of military personnel increased at all checkpoints in the region. Some special operations forces from the Bakhmut and Donetsk frontlines were reportedly transferred there.  There is a giant ammunition depot in the village of Kolbasna.  The seizure of warehouses would allow the Ukrainian military to replenish the emptied depots with ammunition for Soviet-made systems.  The warehouses in Transnistria are under the control of the Operational Group of Russian troops, which numbers about 10-15 thousand servicemen.<ref>https://youtu.be/2Ql4VTSMND8</ref>
