Russia and its supporters will try to organize a rebellion in Moldova if a pro-Russian candidate does not win the presidential elections.
This is stated in a joint statement by the governments of the United States, Canada and Great Britain.
In defense of our shared democratic values, we warn our democratic partners and allies that Russian actors are playing out a scenario to influence the outcome of the presidential elections in Moldova in the fall. They intend to ignite protests in Moldova if the pro-Russian candidate does not win, the document states.
It is noted that Russia is trying to form a negative attitude among the Moldovan population towards the governments of Western countries, the country's authorities and its ability to join the EU. In parallel, the Russian Federation is trying to destroy the population's faith in Moldova's ability to maintain its security and the rule of law.
We have full confidence in Moldova's ability to address these threats posed by Kremlin interference. We are taking a number of steps to support these efforts as part of our partnership with Moldova and its people, the statement said.
Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom have jointly shared information about Russia's intentions with their partners in Moldova so that they can further investigate, disrupt and thwart the Kremlin's plans.
We will continue to work closely with the Moldovan government on this matter, the document states.
