President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu state that the Kremlin seeks to change the government in Moldova in order to subordinate it to its own interests and use it against Ukraine, according to jurnal.md.

Sandu stated that the Kremlin, during the country’s parliamentary elections, is attempting to replace the government with those whom it can control.

In her speech in parliament, she emphasized that such interference threatens not only Moldova’s security but also Ukraine’s, as a change in leadership in Moldova could make the country a springboard for Russian influence.

“We have a 1,200-kilometer border. Imagine that overnight this border with a friendly country turns into a border with a state controlled by Moscow. Of course, there are risks for Ukraine here, but at the same time, the risks for Moldova also increase, because in this way the Russian Federation can drag Moldova into war,” noted Sandu.
