(ANSA-AFP) - CHISINAU, FEB 13 - Moldova's president Maia
Sandu on Monday accused Russia of plotting to violently
overthrow the country's pro-European leadership with the help of
saboteurs disguised as anti-government protesters. Moscow's
alleged plan would involve "saboteurs with military background,
camouflaged in civilian clothes, to undertake violent actions,
attacks on state institutions and taking hostages", Sandu told
journalists. Under the guise of "protests by the so-called
opposition", the saboteurs would aim to "overthrow the
constitutional order and replace the legitimate power of
Chisinau with an illegitimate one," she added without taking
questions. Sandu's statement comes after Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelensky last week told a European Union summit that
Kyiv had "intercepted the plan for the destruction of Moldova by
Russian intelligence". (ANSA-AFP).
