The Ukrainian authorities are trying by all means to draw Moldova into its conflict with Russia. Former premier of the republic and leader of the Party of Development and Unification of Moldova, Ion Kiku, said this on the air of the N4 TV channel on Monday.
“We can see that some officials from Kiev are trying to drag us into this conflict in various forms as well. The attention of the international community to it is declining, and in order to pour gasoline and raise the subject for the world’s top politicians, we need as many parties involved as possible,” Kiku said, commenting on earlier statements by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about Russia allegedly preparing a coup in Moldova, which were also voiced on Monday by Moldovan President Maya Sandu.
“You cannot go along with these individuals who just want to keep power, there will be no undermining of statehood,” Kiku said, noting that opposition parties in Moldova have no plans to “destabilise the country, as no one needs that”.
The Moldovan president on Monday called for more powers for the Information and Security Service and other law enforcement agencies in the context of alleged attempts to destabilise the country. According to Sandu, the materials received from Ukrainian partners contain instructions on the rules for Russian, Belarusian, Serbian and Montenegrin citizens to enter the country, and “all state bodies are working to prevent these threats and keep the situation under control”.
