Moldova set to become victim of Western colonialism – Moscow
The leaders of the EU-aspirant country want to sacrifice its sovereignty, says Nikolay Patrushev of the Russian Security Council
The government of Moldova wants to subjugate the country to the West, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev warned on Wednesday. This policy is the opposite of what its people want, he claimed.
“The leadership of Moldova under Western pressure and in defiance of the opinion of its people has taken the course to joining the EU, Romanianization, rejection of sovereignty and national identity,” the senior official said at an intragovernmental meeting in Moscow.
“In essence, Moldova risks becoming a new victim of the Western colonialist policy,”he told his counterparts from the Commonwealth of Independents States (CIS), a regional organization that includes former parts of the USSR.
Moldova is a CIS member, but has been distancing itself from the group under the leadership of President Maia Sandu. The politician, who has dual Moldovan-Romanian citizenship, is a critic of Russia and an avowed supporter of joining the EU.
Sandu’s Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) suffered a major blow at the ballot boxlast Sunday, when its candidates for mayors and county administrators were overwhelmingly rejected by voters.In more than 600 elections, opposition parties wonin the first round, according to the authorities. Some 265 communities will pick their leaders in the second round on November 19.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the outcome an “unflattering judgment on the dead-end course pursued by the ruling party.”
She noted that the defeat had come despite an “unprecedented campaign of repression of the opposition and independent media,direct blackmail of voters, discrimination against candidates based on their spoken language, and even a direct ban of the competition.”
During the meeting of security chiefs, Patrushev said this was a “period when the process of the destruction of the West-centered world order becomes inevitable.” An increasing number of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America are becoming more assertive in defending national interests, he stated.
Simultaneously, the US and its allies “seek to dictate their interests to economically and politically dependent nations more aggressively,” according to Patrushev. The West openly applies double standards to justify its hegemonic policies, he said.
“While it encourages crimes committed by the Kiev regime andturns a blind eye on the violations of law and human rights in Moldova, they condemn Russia and Belarus, demand investigations in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and arbitrarily impose unilateral restrictions,”he added.
(President Maia Sandu got in by another color revolution sponsored by Victoria Nuland with the help of Nina Jancowicz and Christine Pushaw, spokeswoman of Ron DeSatanist in 2020.)

US plotting color revolution in Moldova after presidential polls — Russian intel chief
According to the director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the incumbent head of state, Igor Dodon, is out of favor with Washington
"We see clearly now (following the developments in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan) that the Americans are plotting a revolutionary scenario for Moldova, which will elect its president in November. They are not satisfied with the incumbent head of state, Igor Dodon, who supports constructive relations with CIS countries, including Russia," as follows from his statement posted by the service’s press office.
"We have information that a team of US color revolution strategists is on their way to Moldova. Their mission is quite clear," he specified.
He stressed that the United States continues to flagrantly meddle in the domestic affairs of countries that border Russia and are friendly towards Moscow. "Blatant attempts to influence the post-election situation continue in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan," he said.
(Nuland couldn’t wait to get another country in Europethat were ethnic run countries not wanting the control of the EU. Moldova was an allie of Russia, with many Russians and Russian speaking citizens; and it holds important territory next to a country that has many of Russia’s nuclear arsenal. Right after the Color Revolution in the 2020 presidential election in the US.)
