Alexander Lukashenko appears to have indicated Vladimir Putin's forces have plans to invade Moldova

IT’S JUST WHAT DICTATORS DO..

Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko appears to have indicated Vladimir Putin's forces have plans to invade Moldova.

Putin's war-mongering sidekick addressed security officials today while standing in front of a battle map that seems to show a planned operation from southern Ukraine into its tiny neighbor.


The map also showed proposed battle plans for Russian troops across the country.


The UK DAILY MAIL reports on the weird moment:

It detailed Russian lines of attack heading into Ukraine, some of which have materialised in the first few days of the invasion - such as forces storming towards Kyiv from the north, and towards Kherson from Crimea.
But they also showed off several attacks that have yet to come to pass - with one even appearing to point from the port city of Odessa into Moldova, suggesting Russia plans to march troops into Ukraine's neighbour.

The story goes on:

Perhaps worryingly for the direction the war could take from here, the chart also features a map of the US mainland and Canada.
A box on the right-hand side detailing what appear to be military units also features the badge of the US Army Air Cavalry, while below it there is a map of the whole of Europe - perhaps detailing NATO troop positions.
