EU preparing to ‘occupy’ Moldova – Moscow

Brussels is willing to use force to ensure that Chisinau continues to pursue Russophobic policies, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service has claimed

European countries are preparing for a military intervention in Moldova, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The agency warned that “eurocrats” in Brussels intend to ensure that Chisinau continues to pursue anti-Russian policies,and will go as far as to “occupy” Moldova after upcoming parliamentary elections.

In a press release on Monday, the SVR stated it had observed European NATO forces being concentrated in Romania near the border with Moldova, andfurther claimed that they are preparing to deploy to Odessa Region in Ukraine to intimidate Moldova’s breakaway region of Transnistria. It added thatmilitary servicemen from France and the UK have already arrived in Odessa.

According to the SVR, forces from European countries intend to intervene following theupcoming parliamentary elections, where Brussels and Chisinau will allegedly falsify the resultsin the hope of driving Moldovan citizens to the streets to defend their rights. After that, at the request of Moldovan President Maia Sandu,European forces will enter the country and compel Moldovans to “accept dictatorship under the guise of European democracy,” the service said.

=The SVR similarly warned in July thatNATO was molding Moldova into a military “battering ram” against Russia.

Former Moldovan President Igor Dodon also recently claimed that the EU intends to useMoldova as “cannon fodder” in a possible future conflict with Russia.

Foreign forces plotting Ukraine-style coup in EU candidate country – PM

Georgia’s Irakli Kobakhidze has vowed to prevent attempts to topple his government through street protests

==Anti-government protests in Georgia are being financed by foreign intelligence services seeking to stage a coup similar to Ukraine’s 2014 uprising+=, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze claimed on Monday.

Tbilisi has faced pressure from Western governments and domestic demonstrations over its perceived drift from the post-Soviet republic’s European Union integration path. At a press conference,Kobakhidze compared the situation to the Euromaidan protests in Kiev as he criticized opposition parties.

“Foreign agents won’t stage a revolution in Georgia, we won’t allow that,” the prime minister said.

“All this is financed by foreign special services, as with the Maidan. Recall how the Maidan protests were financed and how it ended for Ukraine.Ukrainian statehood has collapsed. Ukraine endured two wars after that revolution financed by foreign special services,” he added.

The 2014 events in Kiev were marked by shooting attacks against police and protesters believed to be conducted by radical elements of the opposition and ultimately led to the overthrow of Ukraine’s elected government. The new authorities, who adopted an anti-Russian stance, used military force in an attempt to suppress an ethnic Russian revolt in the east.

Years of failed reconciliation – later acknowledged by Kiev and its Western backers as a tactic to buy time and build up Ukraine’s military– led to the full-scale hostilities with Russia in 2022.

Kobakhidze’s governmenthas accused Western nations of trying to draw Georgia into the Ukraine conflict. Officials in Tbilisi say thecountry is being targeted for refusing to open a “second front” against Moscow or fully align with Western policy.

The primeminister dismissed Georgia’s “radical opposition” as “essentially one power” with a single funding sourceand only minor tactical differences among its factions.
