Former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Soigu accuses NATO of wanting to integrate Moldova militarily without providing security guarantees.

Sergei Soigu says that NATO is waging an influence campaign in Moldova, seeking to integrate the country into the alliance's military infrastructure without offering it membership or security guarantees. He argues that NATO propaganda is aimed at convincing the population to renounce neutrality, highlighting negative examples such as Ukraine. He also points out that moving closer to NATO leads to a loss of sovereignty and an increase in military spending, which has risen significantly over the past decade.
