Hybrid threats from Russia in Moldova
Earlier in the media, information emerged that Russians had installed equipment on the building of their embassy in Chisinau to spy on local officials and more.

Later, Moldova's authorities confirmed this information. In response, they decided to expel employees of the Russian diplomatic representation.

On August 14, the country expelled 22 Russian diplomats and 23 members of technical personnel along with their families.
