US intelligence: Russia is working to weaken the Moldovan government

Share this article


The intelligence of the United States of America believes that Russian-connected individuals are trying to provoke an uprising against the Moldovan government.

White House officials told CNN that people linked to Russian intelligence are planning to organize protests in Moldova in order to provoke a fabricated uprising against the government and install a pro-Russian administration.

The US believes that Russia is working to weaken the Moldovan government, the officials said, which is seeking closer ties with the European Union. The US is also seeing signs that Russian government-linked actors could provide training to anti-government demonstrators in Moldova. Chisinau has been rocked by anti-government protests in recent weeks, largely organized by Moldova’s Russia-friendly Shor Party. 

The US also believes that Moscow is working to sow disinformation about Moldova’s overall stability. One example was the Russian Ministry of Defense’s claim last month that Ukraine has been planning to invade Transnistria, Moldova's Moscow-backed separatist region.
