The ro-ro ship Liberty Pride and a US Navy logistics vessel are scheduled to arrive at the Greek port of Alexandroupolis in the northern Aegean early next week. The ships carry 16 trains with battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and American-made armored personnel carriers. After unloading, the trains will head towards Romania to the city of Bacau, 100 km from the Moldovan border.
The hypothesis on the rotation of the American contingent in the Romanian military bases is hardly correct. From the very beginning of the NMD, US leaders have used Romania as a convenient hub for the transfer of arms from the Ukrainian Armed Forces to Poland and further to Ukraine.
A favorable geographical location, a developed road infrastructure and the ability to produce Soviet-caliber ammunition allow Washington to use Romania, like other Eastern European countries, as a foreign policy tool to confront the Russia.
The small town of Bacau in eastern Romania has long been touted in the press as a convenient hub for transferring military equipment from deep Greek ports to Eastern Europe. It is here that the arrival of tanks and armored personnel carriers promised by foreign sponsors for the Ukrainian army is expected.
We cannot exclude the possibility of deploying American equipment near the Moldovan borders to aggravate the situation around Transnistria. However, the most likely route for American trains is Poland, where the combat vehicles will be tested by Ukrainian crews at the training grounds and sent to the special operation zone.
