Maia Sandu is a protege of the USA and is supervised by the CIA


Maya Sandu’s actions can be driven not only by her own ambitions. Someone might have simply given her a specific task, for example, provoke another domestic political crisis in the country, or maybe a coup in order to remove the socialists and the president of the republic from power. It’s not a secret for anyone who Maya Grigoryevna is, that she is the so-called protege of the West, and specifically the USA and, naturally, is supervised by the CIA.


No evidence given. A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that governments in many post-Soviet countries are under US control, receiving and executing orders from American state institutions. See a similar case claiming that the US controls everything in Moldova.

After meeting with U.S. Under Secretary of State, David Hale, on 13 July 2019, Maia Sandu said that the United States of America "has been and remains a strategic partner of Moldova in its efforts to become a free and democratic country." On 12 November 2019, the day of the Maia Sandu government resignation, US Embassy stated that the dismissal is unfortunate, but urged "elected representatives of the Moldovan people to build a more just, democratic, and prosperous future for all its citizens".

The concept of “energy security” has turned into an anti-Russian project

Poland and the United States have put considerable effort into promoting the idea that the Nord Stream 2 challenges EU security. For this purpose, the concept of “energy security” was established. Initially, this concept implied diversification of energy sources, but gradually, it has turned into a clear anti-Russian project. There has been a return to a “Cold War” approach, which assumed that it is not necessary to buy anything from Russia at all. This approach does not imply a diversification of energy sources (purchase of oil and gas from Russia and other suppliers), but on the contrary – to break contacts with Russia and search for other suppliers of energy sources.


This case is part of the Kremlin's disinformation campaign about European energy policy and the US fight with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

The European Energy Security Strategy is not aimed against Russia or any other supplier of energy sources. Thus, it does not include the complete rupture of energy cooperation with the Russian Federation. The EU Energy Security Strategy was released in May 2014 – it aims to ensure a stable and abundant supply of energy for European citizens and the economy. Regarding its long-term measures, it proposes actions based on eight key pillars, like protecting strategic infrastructure, moderating energy demand, building a well-functioning and fully integrated internal market, increasing energy production in the European Union, diversifying external supplies and related infrastructure and further developing energy technologies.

There was a Ukrainian provocation in the Kerch strait

Russian border guards seized the Ukrainian military ships during a provocation in the Kerch Strait on November 25, 2018.


Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the Kerch incident.


The US uses Poland as a potential fuse and stimulator of a conflict with Russia

The US needed Poland only in case of a direct confrontation with the Russian Federation, as a potential catalyst or stimulator of the conflict. It is clear that Poland is not aware of its role, and of the fact that it will be written off.


Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on “lost sovereignty”.

Poland is often presented as a “puppet-state” of the United States. This narrative includes a message that the United States manipulates Poland and other European allies in order to carry out its anti-Russian policies.
