US intelligence officials have said that people with links to Russian intelligence are planning demonstrations with the intention of toppling the Moldovan government. John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said intelligence suggests some with links to Russian intelligence are planning demonstrations in Moldova to spark an insurgency against the new pro-Western government. Moldova was granted candidate status to join the European Union in June last year.
War-torn Ukraine was also given this status on the same day. Kirby said intelligence suggested Russian elements would help incite protests in Moldova and train protesters. US President Joe Biden’s administration said it wanted to expose Russia’s campaign of disinformation and other conspiracies so that allies would have a clearer picture of Moscow’s intentions and Russia would think twice before launching a campaign. The White House has given this intelligence when Biden is scheduled to meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
