In Moldova, a network of "pro -Russian" agents was revealed
The Moldova Police detained seven members of the “pro -Russian” agent network who arrived in the country to destabilize the situation against the background of anti -government protests, Spiegel writes with reference to the head of the General Commissariat of Police, Viorela Chernusana.
According to him, one of the employees of the Moldovan police, under cover, was introduced into a group, whose members promised up to 10 thousand dollars for creating riots during protests. In total, according to the security forces, ten such groups of five to ten people were organized. According to Chernutsan, all of them were previously trained in the "specialized service of Russia."
The Prossensky Agents were detained during the raids on the eve of the protest in Chisinau , at which the protesters opposed the growth of prices and tariffs, and also demanded the resignation of President Maya Sandu and the government. The security forces claim that 25 people were interrogated, seven of whom were detained.
- On February 13, Moldova President Maya Sandu stated that Russia aims to overthrow the current pro -European government in the country. For this, Moscow plans to throw saboteurs in Moldova to attack administrative buildings and capture hostages, and is also going to use pro -Russian Moldavian politicians and security forces.
- In early February, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov called Moldova the "next Ukraine", whose president "rushes to NATO" and wants to "unite with Romania." The director of the Second Department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexei Polishchuk noted that the cooperation of Moldova with NATO and the European Union "begins to gradually go into the practical phase" and causes the concern of Moscow.
- On February 19, the new Prime Minister of Moldova Dorin Republic said that the time had come to demilitarize Transnistria. He believes that it is time for Russian troops to leave this territory, and then the danger to their country will disappear.
