NATO expects further provocations in Moldova and believes that their goal is to create problems for Ukraine, and there is no military threat to Moldova itself.
This was stated in an interview with Romanian Digi24 by NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană, European Pravda reports.
"We do not see any military risks for Moldova or Georgia at the moment - another country under intense pressure from russia. However, we expect provocations, and operations under a foreign flag not so much to create problems for Moldova as for Ukrainian forces in the west of Ukraine and Odesa oblast," - said Geoană.
At the same time, he added, there may be attempts to destabilize Moldova.
