Secret document reveals Russia’s 10-year plan to destabilize Moldova

A secret plan drawn up by Russia’s security service, the FSB, lays out detailed options to destabilize Moldova – including supporting pro-Russian groups, utilizing the Orthodox Church and threatening to cut off supplies of natural gas.

The document appears to have been drawn up to thwart Moldova’s tilt to the West, which includes closer relations with NATO and an application to join the European Union. It repeatedly refers to the importance of preventing Moldova from joining NATO.

The document sets out a 10-year strategy for bringing Moldova, a former Soviet republic sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania, within Russia’s sphere of influence.

The plan includes making Moldova dependent on imports of Russian gas and stirring up social conflict, as well as trying to block Moldova’s efforts to gain influence in the pro-Russian breakaway region of Transnistria, where some 1,500 Russian soldiers are stationed.

The five-page document is separated into multiple headings with short-, medium- and long-term aims. Among the immediate objectives are “support for Moldovan political forces advocating constructive relations with the Russian Federation,” and “neutralization of the initiatives of the Republic of Moldova aimed at eliminating the Russian military presence in Transnistria.”

Medium-term goals include “opposition to the expansionist policy of Romania in the Republic of Moldova” and “opposition to cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and NATO.”

The FSB document lays out long term goals including the “creation of stable pro-Russian groups of influence in the Moldovan political and economic elites” and “the formation of a negative attitude towards NATO.”

Putin undoubtedly has similar plans for each and every other country in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.

Could be true but it IS a CNN report. There are lies, damn lies, statistics and most ‘lamestream media’!

Did Christopher Steele have a hand in that document. Were there reports of Putin urinating on Maldova’s prostitutes?

Sorry, the timing is ridiculous.

Yes. Now we know why it is very crucial to stop Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. Just look at a map and can see Putin’s plans to retake the eastern most part of the old Soviet Union, before going after Hungary, Poland, and the Baltic States.

Imagine how diabolical these same type of plans are from the USA. Our plans to destabilize South American countries would make Putin blush with envy.

Nobody talks about the 2014 US plans to destabilize and overthrow Ukraine.

Don’t be a tool. Governments do this all the time....the US is one of the most guilty of interfering across the globe.

If there was a plan it would have had pro-Russian government based on the sentiments of population.
For some reason Moldova is ruled by pro-Western elites even though their support is in single digits.
The story is about as credible as a Russian plan to take over America through Trump.

I can only wonder if this is a story from the DNC, taken down in shorthand by the CNN stenographic pool.
