The media received Russian papers on the Moldova destabilization. As in the case of Moscow's recent "plan" to annexe Belarus. Yahoo News got it. The news publisher notes that the document, like the one about Belarus, is dated 2021 and comes from exactly the same Directorate for Cross-Border Cooperation of the Russian Presidential Executive Office.

The document provides for Moldova's annexation to the EAEU and the CSTO. It should be noted that Moldova really actively participated in the EAEU summits as an observer country during Igor Dodon's presidential term, but after Maia Sandu won the elections and Russia launched the invasion of Ukraine in February last year, this actually was stopped.
