 Russia is preparing to seize power in Moldova through protests. Maya Sandu, president of Moldova, has confirmed that the Ukrainian side conveyed to her the Kremlin's plans to destabilize the situation in Moldova and that forceful actions involving saboteurs from outside the country, from Russia, Belarus and the Balkans, were being prepared. This is a short-term plan that involves sabotage, involving persons with military training disguised as civilians. They are planning violent actions including attacks on some state institutions and taking hostages, Maya Sandu said. According to Sandu, the materials transferred by Kiev contain detailed documentation of the logistics for organizing these sabotage actions. The plan envisages the use of people from outside the country for violent actions in Moldova. For example, the materials contain instructions for citizens of the Russian Federation, Belarus, Serbia and Montenegro to enter Moldova, the president added. Sandu also said that an attempt to seize power in Chichino is being prepared under the guise of peaceful protests. The president added that the security forces of Moldova are preparing to prevent these provocations and are keeping the situation under control. At the EU summit in Brussels, president Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukrainian intelligence had intercepted that Kremlin's plans to take control of Moldova after which the Ukrainian leader immediately passed all the information to his counterpart, President Maya Sandu. We don't know if Moscow was ordered to act according to this plan against Moldova, but we saw what they were going to do. We recognized in this exactly what they are already trying to do against Ukraine, against other states, in particular Europe. Nothing new, Zelensky said. Russia has repeatedly made sharp and rude attacks against Moldova and the Moldovan leadership in particular after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Among the latter, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov said that they are trying to make a second Ukraine out of Moldova, which was sharply commented on by the state's Foreign Affairs Department.
