The Romanian defence ministry announced that the Romanian Army currently has no troops deployed in the Rep. of Moldova to take part in drills or other joint training programmes. The statement comes after a Russian-language publication released fake news according to which Romania plans to attack Transnistria with NATO support, and then to annex the Rep. of Moldova, and claimed that Romanian troops have already been deployed to the neighbouring country. Disinformation on Russian channels follows a number of attacks by unknown perpetrators, which took place in the past few days in Transnistria, a pro-Russian breakaway region in the east of the Rep. of Moldova.
