Russia told the West on Friday that it would view as an attack on itself any actions that threatened Russian peacekeepers in Moldova's breakaway Transdniestria region, one day after Moscow accused Ukraine of planning an invasion.
In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy rejected Moscow's assertion that Ukraine wanted to take over the region, while Moldova reiterated there was no truth to the allegations.
The warning comes amid increased concerns in Moldova, a small ex-Soviet republic bordering Ukraine, of a possible Russian threat. Its pro-European President Maia Sandu this month accused Moscow of plotting a coup.
On Thursday, Russia accused Kyiv of planning to invade Transdniestria, which borders Ukraine. The mainly Russian-speaking territory broke from Moldova's control in 1990, a year before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
"We warn the United States, NATO member states and their Ukrainian wards against taking yet another reckless step," Russia's foreign ministry.
"Any action that threatens their security will be considered under international law as an attack on the Russian Federation."
There are around 1,700 Russian troops in Transdniestria, which has a population of roughly 440,000.
Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu said what he called Russia's "provocative" comments about a possible Ukrainian attack were untrue.
