Naryshkin: Moldova Is Following Ukraine’s Path

Director of the Foreign Intelligence Sergey Naryshkin said this at the meeting of CIS security and intelligence services heads. ‘Wherever the West has extended its tentacles, we see division and destabilization. The most vivid example is Ukraine. Tempted by the so-called European integration, it has turned into the main anti-Russian battering ram of the US,’ the Intelligence chief said, gazeta.ru reports. Naryshkin added that Ukraine had turned into a failed state. According to him, ‘Moldova is following a similar path’. The Intelligence head said that Moldovan President Maia Sandu ‘organized a totalitarian regime, which caused a catastrophic polarization in the country’s society’. On 21 November, Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said that it was necessary to restore relations with Russia after the fighting in Ukraine stops. He noted that Chisinau currently had ‘very tense relations’ with Moscow.
