Moldovan President Maia Sandu has delivered an emergency video address to the nation, warning of a direct threat to the country’s sovereignty and independence from Russia. She has said that if the Kremlin’s destabilisation plan succeeds, Moldova’s territory may be used as a launchpad for an invasion of Ukraine’s Odesa Oblast.
Source: Sandu’s video address
Quote: “Today I can say with full confidence that the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and European future of our country are under threat. The Kremlin is spending hundreds of millions of euros to buy hundreds of thousands of votes on both banks of the Dniester River and abroad.”
Details: Sandu said people are being subjected daily to “intoxication with dozens of false messages”, while “hundreds of people are being paid to provoke chaos, violence and intimidate society”.
She outlined the catastrophic consequences that will await the country if Russia’s plan succeeds.
Quote: “If Russia gains control over Moldova, the consequences will be immediate and will threaten our country and the entire region. All Moldovans will suffer, regardless of who they voted for. Europe will stop at Moldova’s border. Freedom of movement may end and our land could become a launchpad for penetration into Odesa Oblast. The Transnistrian region will be destabilised. These are their plans and they’re not hiding them.”
Details: Sandu stressed that the Kremlin has accomplices in Moldova who are “ready to sell even their own country for money”.
“They do not believe in Russia, nor in Europe – only in money,” she said, calling on citizens to resist attempts by these forces to come back to power.
Previously:
- The video address appeared shortly after Moldovan law enforcement conducted over 250 searches and detained 74 suspects accused of organising mass unrest ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for 28 September. Weapons, ammunition, tents, camouflage clothing and passports were seized during the searches.
- According to the investigation, a group of individuals regularly travelled to Serbia for training aimed at destabilising the situation in Moldova. There they were trained, in particular, to handle firearms and special equipment.
- Alexandru Musteata, Director of the Moldovan Intelligence and Security Service, stated that the destabilisation plan was coordinated by Russian intelligence services. He said that Russian national Andrei Pavlov was responsible for planning and directing sabotage operations in Moldova. Moldovan Intelligence and Security Service reported that Pavlov had also taken part in similar operations in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Background: Earlier, Bloomberg reported on a Russian plan to interfere in Moldova’s elections, while the BBC published an investigation into disinformation in Moldova ahead of the vote.

For the life of me, I don’t know how the cockroaches could ever use Moldova to attack anyone, let alone the brave Ukrainians. No one has ever offered a description on how this could be accomplished.
Moldova is a landlocked country, and getting troops and supplies inside requires the good will of Ukraine and Romania. I doubt any of them are so imbecilic to allow that.
“They do not believe in Russia, nor in Europe – only in money,”
We have a felon in the White House with the same mentality.
There are regular flights from putlerstan to Transnistria, which has a military and freight airport. That’s how they’d do it I guess.
So, who is allowing them to fly through their airspace?
Romania?
They are allowed to fly whatever stuff they want without impediment into their other occupied shithole; “Kaliningrad.”
If both were blockaded, that would finish them off.
Well, it’s got to be someone, and I highly doubt it’s Ukraine. This goes to show you again how fucking weak the West still is. No backbones whatsoever.
A Moldovan friend of mine who married a Ukrainian girl told me some time ago that Zel’s people reached out to Sandu to offer to liberate Transnistria, but she declined the offer.
I don’t have any proof of this though.
Moldova is a poor, corrupt country that is crawling with putinoid slime. The reincorporation of Transnistria would stabilize the situation.
If they had any guts, the Romanians would offer a joint operation with Ukraine to clear out the trash once and for all.
Yes, I remember you saying this. If this is true, then it baffles the mind why she would refuse such an offer. Having cockroaches in your country is like having cancer in your body.
