Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service accused Moldova's President Maia Sandu of planning a military operation in Transnistria, sparking fears of potential escalation into conflict.
Moldova's chief of staff dismissed Russian claims, asserting there are no military plans regarding Transnistria, a territory Moldova considers its own despite the conflict.
The Russian government claims NATO is turning Moldova into a weapons hub, further intensifying concerns of Moscow's justification to act against its smaller neighbor.
Analysts believe the allegations made by Russia could be a precursor to a false flag operation, aimed at justifying further Russian aggression in the region.
