DISINFO: EU deploys a German armed forces advisory group to Moldova as part of preparations for war with Russia
SUMMARY
The deployment of a German armed forces advisory group to Moldova is part of the EU's preparations for war with the Russian Federation [...]. Earlier, Moldovan Defense Minister Anatoly Nosatyi announced the deployment of a German armed forces advisory group to the republic as part of the Moldovan-German intergovernmental agreement signed in Berlin.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the EU of being belligerent towards Russia and using Moldova in the process.
The claim is baseless and misrepresents the Agreement signed on May 15 in Berlin between the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on the Assistance Program and the deployment of an advisory group of the Bundeswehr to the Republic of Moldova. According to a Ministry of Defense’s press release, the agreement is a part of the strategic partnership with Germany. ”Through the support provided, we will be able to accelerate the process of modernisation of our defense institution, including by renovating the infrastructure, improving the conditions of activity and accommodation for the military, as well as increasing the attractiveness of military service in society”, said the Moldovan ministry of Defense.
