Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean has said that Russia is planning to seize the airport in Chisinau to move its military to Moldova, but the country’s authorities are ready for this, reports Moldova1
According to Zelensky, Moscow is considering a coup d’état in Moldova and since Russia and Moldova do not share a border, the Kremlin could move its military from Russian-occupied Transnistria to the airport in Chisinau.
On 21 February, Recean confirmed Zelensky’s statement but assured that the Moldovan authorities are ready to deal with these challenges.

The premier added that there are several scenarios to destabilize the situation in Moldova.
“I want to stress once again: our goal is to ensure peace and stability in the country, including the Transnistrian region. Moldova advocates a peaceful settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, and we must harmonize our objectives to achieve peace and security”
