During his visit to Brussels, the head of the Ukrainian state stated that he “prevented the plan to destroy Moldova, a plan that was in the hands of the Russian special services.”

“This plan shows who, when and how will deal a mortal blow to Moldovan democracy,” Zelensky said. “Well, I don’t know if Moscow actually ordered the implementation of this plan, but in any case (…) this plan is very similar to what they tried to implement against Ukraine.”

Moldova, a small country of 2.6 million neighboring Ukraine and a candidate for EU membership since late June, is under military threat from Russia due to the presence of Russian soldiers on its soil in the pro-Russian breakaway region of Transnistria.
