Air Moldova announced through its social media accounts Tuesday the country's airspace has been temporarily closed, with some flights being canceled.
"We are waiting for the resumption of flights. Today's schedule will undergo changes," the company wrote without giving details. Moldovan media outlets have meanwhile said the country's airspace had been breached by one or more drones earlier in the day, which would make the second significant airspace breach in under a week, after a Russian cruise missile fired from the Black Sea briefly briefly entered Moldovan air space days ago.
Some reports have indicated "a large number of drones" were observed near Chisinau airport in what could possibly be spillover from the neighboring war in Ukraine.
Just as these reports emerged of an unknown UAV breach, the Kremlin issued a statement angrily rejecting the Moldovan president's Monday allegations that Russia is plotting to overthrow the pro-EU government and replace it with a Russia-friendly one.
President Maia Sandu had described an elaborate plan by Russian intelligence to destabilize and collapse the government using color revolution-style tactics. She claimed that Kremlin agents are preparing to flood the country with Russian, Belarusian and Serbian agents provocateurs to steer protests and unrest in order to "change the legitimate government to an illegal government controlled by the Russian Federation."
On Tuesday Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called Sandu’s claims "absolutely unfounded and unsubstantiated."
"They are built in the spirit of classical techniques that are often used by the United States, other Western countries and Ukraine," Zakharova said, pointing the finger back at the West for itself utilizing color revolution strategies in Eastern Europe.
"First, accusations are made with reference to purportedly classified intelligence information that cannot be verified, and then they are used to justify their own illegal actions."
⚡️Airspace over Moldova appears to have closed.

All of this has put intense pressure on the Chișinău government. Moldova was granted EU candidate status in June 2022, but the deeply impoverished nation is believed to have a long way to go, and its struggling energy sector was recently bailed out by Western donors.
Not only does Moldova border Ukraine, but its breakaway Transnistria region has long had a Russian troop presence. Last week Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the first to issue a specific claim that there's an active Russian intelligence plot "for the destruction of Moldova".
While not a NATO country, and unlikely to ever be one, NATO has of late pledged a deepened 'partnership' with it's pro-EU leadership.
Sounds like what the homo crowd is doing in the US.
Lets hope none of these drones crash in to the ammo dump at Cobasna. Supposedly any explosion of this huge dump would be akin to an Hiroshima type blast.
I’m not sure why anyone would want to take over Moldova.
They want to CLAIM Putin wants to take over Moldovia to justify ‘pre-emptive attack’ on Russia, just as Zelensky originally tried doing. Z asked for ‘pre-emptive’ nuke strikes to stop Russia - they have to exaggerate and wave their arms and point screaming to try to get WWIII to go ‘hot’.
I do believe a false flag is coming soon......
“Moldova sucks…”
If half of the world gets blown up, that would solve some logistical and supply issues…
“President Maia Sandu had described an elaborate plan by Russian intelligence to destabilize and collapse the government using color revolution-style tactics.”
In 2010, she graduated from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. From 2010 to 2012, Sandu worked as Adviser to the executive director at the World Bank in Washington, D.C.
Typical.
Russia trying to subvert another neighboring country with dirty tricks?
Typical.
Obviously, the “Warmongering Menace to the East” hasn’t gone away.
“There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don’t see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear.”
I think that 2.24.2022 left out any doubt in anyone’s but the willing Moscow dupe’s minds.
Hilarious! You think like Zelensky does! He’d start a war with a second nation while actively engaged in fighting another nation. You two are just peas in a pod!
But in reality, Putin is being framed, again, by those who want an excuse to go nuclear. He’s not interested in Moldovia- no one is.
LOL keep making excuses for your warmongering dictator
stay blind if you want ... fortunately, others can see the genuine threat that exists
No one wants Moldova.
It’s a landlocked nation that at best it’s a 2nd world country but borders on 3rd.
It’s also the Trafficking Capitol for all Slavic women.
A staging country to ship women all over the world.
Moldova has been making claims they’re going to be attacked, or how they feel threaten because they see how much American money Ukraine receives.
Moldova wants a sugar daddy because Russia is gonna get them.
Not gonna happen.
Take over Moldova and corner the market on track suits and porn.
