DISINFO: In case of mass protests in Moldova, the West may agree to send troops from neighboring Romania
SUMMARY
Do the authorities have the will to crush the protests with an iron fist? Hard to say. But if the leaders of the country themselves do not have such a will, then the “curators” have it. In the end, if the situation in Moldova gets out of control, then the West may agree to send troops from neighboring Romania here, at the request of the leadership of the Republic of Moldova.
RESPONSE
Recurring the pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the West playing the role of master or curator for Moldovan authorities, mixing in Romania’s alleged intentions to annex Moldova.
The EU and Romania provide aid and assistance to Moldova in case of crisis, including pandemic and energy crisis, but there is no agreement on military interventions with troops.
Recently, in June 2022, the EU announced an aid of 40 million euros for the Moldovan National Army in as part of the European Peace Facility in the context and "will strengthen the capacities of the logistics, mobility, command and control, cyber defense, unmanned aerial reconnaissance and tactical communications units of the Armed Forces of Moldova by providing non-lethal equipment, supplies and relevant services, including training related to the equipment". This assistance does not contain any mention of sending troops or military interventions.
See here a similar case claiming that the West is destabilising Moldova to justify military and political annexation by Romania.
