The White House says U.S. intelligence officials have determined that people with ties to the Russian intelligence community are planning to stage protests in Moldova in hopes of toppling the Moldovan government.
WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials have determined that people with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to stage protests in hopes of toppling the Moldovan government, according to the White House.
The publicizing of the alleged malign operation by Moscow in Moldova is just the latest example of the Biden administration loosening restrictions on and making public intelligence findings over the course of the grinding war in Ukraine. The administration has said it wants to highlight plans for Russian misinformation and other activity so allies remain clear-eyed about Moscow's intent and Russia thinks twice before carrying out an operation.
The White House released the intelligence shortly before Biden was set to meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. On Thursday, Moldova's national anti-corruption agency said officers carried out car searches of "couriers" for the Shor Party, and seized more than $160,000 in a case of alleged illegal party financing by an organized criminal group.
Meanwhile, Transnistria, which has close ties to Moscow and hosts Russian troops, claimed Thursday it had thwarted an assassination attempt on its president allegedly organized by Ukraine's national security service. Officials alleged that Ukraine's SBU security service ordered the assassination attempt, but did not provide evidence. The SBU rejected the allegation, saying it "should be considered exclusively as a provocation orchestrated by the Kremlin.
