Russia’s Spy Agency Accuses NATO of Dragging Moldova Into Conflict

Russia’s foreign intelligence agency on Monday accused NATO of pushing Moldova toward a potential military confrontation with Russia by allegedly militarizing the country amid the ongoing war in neighboring Ukraine.

In a statement, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed that the Western military alliance was turning Moldova into a “forward base on the eastern flank,” citing what it described as intelligence regarding NATO’s alleged activity in the country.
