No 'Imminent Military Danger' To Moldova, Says Defense Minister

People take part in an anti-government protest organized by the Sor Party in Chisinau on March 12.

Moldova does not currently face "imminent military danger" but is subject to "hybrid warfare generated by Russia" in a bid to "overthrow state power," Defense Minister Anatolie Nosatii told AFP on March 13. "Imminent military danger against Moldova currently doesn't exist, but there are other types of dangers that affect the country's security: hybrid warfare," Nosatii said after the latest in a string of anti-government protests were held on March 12 in Chisinau. By generating "disinformation, tensions inside our society," Russia was attempting to "change the political order, destabilize, and overthrow state power," he said.
