Sorry, this is related to the war on a tangent as it shows Russia's overall regional intentions, regarding the alleged Russian plot to overthrow the Moldovan government. The Moldovan president said that would be saboteurs from Belarus, Russia, Montenegro, and Serbia were going to enter the country to incite revolts.
Quote:
Moldova's president accused Russia on Monday of planning to use foreign saboteurs to bring down her tiny country's leadership, stop it joining the European Union and use it in the war against Ukraine.
President Maia Sandu made her comments after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week his country had uncovered a Russian intelligence plan "for the destruction of Moldova", and days later the country's government resigned.
She said the plan involved citizens of Russia, Montenegro, Belarus and Serbia entering Moldova to try to spark protests in an attempt to "change the legitimate government to an illegal government controlled by the Russian Federation."

They took it as far as to ban Serbian soccer fans from entering the country for security reasons.
Quote:
Moldova has barred fans from attending a soccer match against a Serbian team, officials announced on Tuesday, a day after the Moldovan president said saboteurs from Serbia could be part of an alleged Kremlin coup plot.
The Moldovan Football Federation said it was "informed by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova about the impossibility" of allowing fans at a Feb. 16 match in Chisinau between FC Sheriff of Tiraspol and FK Partizan of Belgrade.
