On February 9, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that he had previously handed over to the Moldovan authorities Russian plans to organize a coup in the country, intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence. In Chisinau, these words were confirmed. Literally, the next day, the Moldovan government resigned.

Later, Moldovan President Maia Sandu revealed Russia's plans for a coup in the country. Moscow intends to use the protests of the "opposition" by attracting people with military training, as well as citizens of the Russian Federation, Belarus, and the Balkan countries.

The saboteurs involved in the coup attempt in Moldova were supposed to enter the country under the guise of Serbian football fans. This was stated by the MP from the ruling party of Moldova, "Action and Solidarity" Adrian Keptonar, on the air of local television.

This week in Chisinau, a match between the football teams of Serbia and Moldova is scheduled.

"At first, it was planned that fans of the Serbian team would arrive in our country. Thanks to the efforts of the Information and Security Service, long before the information provided by Zelensky appeared, the Serbian national team would play in empty stands - because they planned to bring in saboteurs this way," the MP said.

The Serbian football club "Partizan" press service confirmed the ban on the entry of fans to Moldova. They noted that those football fans who had already arrived in the country were deported.
