Russia appears to be intensifying hybrid operations against Moldova, leveraging disinformation and false narratives to portray Western alliances as instigators of conflict while planning destabilization tactics. Moscow has repeatedly tried to destabilize Moldova to allow for pro-Russian regime change. The threat of Russian hybrid attacks is growing as Russian military analysts speculate that Russian military warehouses in Transnistria could fall into the hands of Ukraine. Experts on Moldova expect Russian hybrid warfare in the run-up to their September parliamentary elections, but agree that the Kremlin will not be able to transfer enough troops to the area for military intervention.
