The authorities of Moldova have been ready to sabotage the runway of Chisinau International Airport since the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The plan, meant to curb a potential invasion of Moldova by Russia, was revealed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nicu Popescu to the local channel Jurnal TV.

Among the feared scenario, Moldova’s government worried that Chisinau International Airport could be taken over by Russian forces and used as a bridgehead to launch an invasion of both Moldova and Ukraine. A similar tactic was attempted during Russia’s initial offensive on Ukraine, with the foiled attempt to take control of Hostomel Airport (GML) located in the vicinity of Kyiv.
That concern has been apparent to this day. In March 2023, both the recently appointed Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that their respective special services have intelligence about Moscow’s plans to seize Chisinau Airport.
“These days, there are discussions about the fact that Chisinau International Airport would have been a potential attack target,” Popescu commented. “Our services were preparing for various risks, including regarding the airport. […] The functionality of an airport depends on the capacity of the runway to receive planes.”
Consequently, Moldovan authorities stay at the ready to either destroy or block the runway of Chisinau airport if needed, Popescu concluded.

The Russian plan for Kyiv was for rapidly-moving ground forces from Belarus to seize the airport so that additional troops could be flown in.
There’s no place for Russian troops to state such a ground assault into Moldova. Would Putin be planning an air assault?
Has anyone told Putin that most of his “elite” VDV troops are dead?
The Neocons are getting really EXCITED - they just may get their World War after all!!!
It usually takes a lot of effort to destroy the enemy infrastructure. It takes skill to get them to destroy their own infrastructure.
Yes, that looks about right. Top Secret plans stolen directly from the Kremlin and smuggled out to the Maximum Marcus bat cave,🤦🏼🤦🏼
I checked on Flightradar24 today and flights were coming and going out of Chisinau as normal.
It blows me away that the most gullible consumers and pushers of propaganda I can find are freepers like marcusmaximus here.
You people are just so stupid
USAF spy drone was watching Crimea for the past 18 hours and just turned around to go back to its base.
So predictably you are attacking fellow Americans,
And ranting about us causing WW3-
because there’s an article about Russia attacking yet another country?
When did this phobia start, of every time Russia or China does something wrong, you start screaming about “neocons” under your bed?
Can you make this simpler and give us the full list of all the countries “we” are making Putin attack? It seems like an endless list.
“So predictably you are attacking fellow Americans”
No, I am attacking NEOCONS, but nice try.
Putinists are so sad tonight on the one year anniversary of Putin’s 3 day invasion.
So it upsets you if Moldova is worried Russia might invade? And you know that possibility is “propaganda” because you’re in Moldova or something?
Yep. The Russians do not have the capability at this moment. They have conscripts but they can't jump out of airplanes.
First, Im an American, and you can shove your labels.
So now the lunacy includes that people you call “neocons” are not Americans? That’s an interesting Constitutional interpretation.
And anyone who reads that Moldova fears a Russian attack is a neocon?
Man that’s some world class illogic.
How would a Russian invasion be possible? According to the globalist media, Russia is out of munitions, all of their professional troops are dead and their air force is non-existent. So will this be done with untrained conscripts with no winter gear or weapons armed only with nesting dolls running barefoot in mass waves across western Ukraine?
“First, Im an American, and you can shove your labels.”
I said NEOCONS are not Americans. I said NOTHING about you.
Who needs this airport when there is an airport in Tiraspol?
What goods Biden has on Sandu to make her imitate the Russian derangement syndrome?
