 Russia wants to deploy nuclear weapons in Moldova. Russia is trying to use the territory of Moldova for the war in Ukraine. President of Moldova, Maya Sandus said, according to RBC Ukraine. There are attempts by the Russian Federation to undermine overthrow the government and we have evidence. It is clear that Russia is trying to establish a pro-Russian government in Chizinor in order to use Moldova against Ukraine, as happens, for example, in the case of Belarus, she said. Sandu reminded the recent statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about his intention to place tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. She said that Russia wants to do the same in the case of Moldova, but the country has an independent government elected by its citizens working for the benefit of citizens and Moldova, so it cannot be used in the way that the pro-Russian leadership would use it. Moldova has become a target of Russian intelligence operations as Moscow and its proxies are increasingly trying to destabilize the country, European Council President Charles Michel said. Michel said that Moldova is heavily impacted by Russia's war on Ukraine. In recent months, Russia and its proxies have increasingly tried to destabilize in Moldova using energy, cyber attacks, staging protests and other disruptive activities, he noted.
