Moscow will reportedly employ strategies like supporting pro-Russian groups, making use of the nation's orthodox church and threatening to cut off supplies of natural gas after making Moldova dependent on Russian supplies, as moves to sabotage the country.

Titled "Strategic objectives of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Moldova," the FSB secret plans set out a 10-year strategy to bring the former Soviet republic nation to its knees.

Immediate goals include, "support for Moldovan political forces advocating constructive relations with the Russian Federation," and "neutralisation of the initiatives of the Republic of Moldova aimed at eliminating the Russian military presence in Transnistria."

Medium-term goals talk of opposing "the expansionist policy of Romania in the Republic of Moldova" and the "cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and NATO."

Long-term goals include the "creation of stable pro-Russian groups of influence in the Moldovan political and economic elites" and forming of negative attitudes towards NATO.

Reportedly, Kremlin has denied any knowledge of the secret plans to destabilise Moldova. As per CNN, when asked about the FSB document, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that they "know nothing of the existence of such a plan," and remarked that it may be "another fake."

"I do not rule out that this is another fake. Russia has always been and remains open to building good-neighbourly, mutually beneficial relations, including with Moldova," he said, labelling Moldovan&nbsp;leadership's concerns as "completely unjustified and unfounded prejudices against Moscow."

"We are very sorry that the current leadership of Moldova is experiencing completely unjustified and unfounded prejudices against Moscow."
