Russia has expressed a series of protests and concerns to the Moldovan ambassador. In particular, this is related to rumors about the placement of NATO instructors in the country, according to the press service of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the aggressor country's information, the Moldovan ambassador was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over "unfriendly actions." Russia considers "persecution of Russian and Russian-speaking media," "discrimination against Russian citizens entering Moldova," and "aggressive anti-Russian statements" as such actions.
Moreover, Russia informed the Moldovan diplomat that "a number of Moldovan officials" are banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation. The specific individuals are not specified.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed concern about the media reports suggesting the possible deployment of NATO instructors in Moldova to train Ukrainian defenders.
Moldova - ally of Ukraine
It is worth noting that Moldova has been an ally of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war.
President Maia Sandu, in particular, has repeatedly emphasized the need to stop Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Otherwise, the cost for the entire world will be much higher.
Against this backdrop, Russia has repeatedly attempted to destabilize the situation. To achieve this, it spent over $55 million.
