Moldovan President Maia Sandu on Monday accused Russia of plotting to violently overthrow of the country’s pro-European leadership in order to stop Moldova from joining the European Union and to use it in the war against Ukraine. Under the guise of “protests by the so-called opposition,” the saboteurs would aim to “overthrow the constitutional order and replace the legitimate power of Chisinau with an illegitimate one,” Sandu told journalists. Over the past year, Russia’s war on neighboring Ukraine has repeatedly caused security concerns in Moldova. Is Moldova regime afraid of Russian powers ?
