Sandu announced the plans of the Russian Federation to carry out a coup d’état in Moldova
The security forces of Moldova are preparing to prevent these provocations.
The President of Moldova, Maya Sandu, announced Russia’s plans to stage a coup d’état in Chisinau. According to Sandu, with the help of opposition protests, Russia wants to change the government in Moldova. Thanks to criminal actions, Moscow seeks, in particular, to use Moldova in the war against Ukraine.
Sandu made such a statement on February 13 at a briefing, writes Newsmaker.
«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,» she said.
According to Sandu, the goal of these actions is to overthrow the constitutional and legitimate government in Chisinau with an illegitimate, pro-Russian one, «so that Russia can stop the process of European integration of the republic and use Moldova in the war against Ukraine.»
Sandu also confirmed that the Ukrainian side conveyed to her the Kremlin’s plans to destabilize the situation in Moldova. She specified that the materials transferred by Kyiv contain detailed documentation of the logistics for the organization of these subversive actions.

«Documents obtained from our Ukrainian partners indicate the locations and logistical aspects of the organization of this subversive activity. The plan also involves the use of foreigners for violent actions. For example, the materials contain instructions on the rules of entry into Moldova for citizens of Russia, Belarus, Serbia and Montenegro «, Sandu said.
The president added that the security forces of Moldova are preparing to prevent these provocations and are keeping the situation under control.
In addition, it is expected that the Parliament of Moldova will as soon as possible adopt draft laws that will provide the law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools «to more effectively fight against the country’s security risks.»
«All those who participate in such actions and those who defend them must be brought to justice,» the head of state added.
Sandu urged citizens to be vigilant and trust official information, as «the most aggressive form of attack is an information attack.»
«The Kremlin’s attempts to incite violence in our country are not successful. We remain calm and believe in Moldova,» Sandu concluded.
