Kuwait city: Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) warned on Tuesday that the European Union and NATO may attempt to maintain Moldova within anti-Russian policies, possibly deploying troops and destabilizing the region, including Transnistria, where Russian peacekeepers are stationed.
According to Kuwait News Agency, SVR stated that Brussels is determined to pursue its plans in Moldova regardless of the outcome of the upcoming elections. NATO forces, including French and British troops, have reportedly arrived in Odesa, Ukraine, with alliance units also stationed in neighboring Romania.
The SVR noted that NATO drills in Romania have included scenarios for troop landings in Moldova, potentially to be implemented after the elections. These actions are seen as efforts to justify a Western military presence and provoke incidents involving Transnistria and Russian forces.
Russian intelligence emphasized its vigilance in monitoring the situation, urging the international community to keep a close watch on developments to maintain regional stability.
