European countries are preparing for a military intervention in Moldova, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

According to the SVR, forces from European countries intend to intervene following the upcoming parliamentary elections, where Brussels and Chisinau will allegedly falsify the results in 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 that NATO was molding Moldova into a military “battering ram” against Russia. The SVR also alleged that even if there is no public unrest following the election, European nations still intend to occupy Moldova, but at a later date under the pretext of armed provocations against Transnistria and Russian peacekeeping troops stationed in the region. The service said that the possible timeframe for the operation is between the upcoming parliamentary elections and November 30.
Former Moldovan President Igor Dodon also recently claimed that the EU intends to use Moldova as “cannon fodder” in a possible future conflict with Russia. In its press release, the SVR argued that the alleged plot to occupy Moldova was motivated by the desire of European “totalitarian-liberal regimes” to “demonstrate their courage and determination” as plans to send Western troops to Ukraine have stalled.
“Fearing a direct confrontation with big Russia, Europeans intend to take it out on small Moldova. Self-affirmation at the expense of the weak has always been an integral part of European colonialism,” the service said.
