The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, accused President of Moldova Maya Sandu of lies. In response, the foreign policy department of this country caused the ambassador of the Russian Federation in Moldova Oleg Vasnetsov to express a protest. This was reported by the Moldavian media by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European integration of Moldova.
“Aggressive rhetoric in the latest statements by Ms. Zakharova is unacceptable. The ambassador of Russia was called to the Foreign Affairs, where he was handed a note of protest for these direct insults to the president of Moldova,” Voda said.
In her last statement, Zakharova commented on the new Code of Elections in Moldova, which, in her opinion, “will lead to infringement of the rights of the Russian -speaking population of Moldova and will damage the bilateral relations with Russia.” “In the fall of 2020, I remind you, then a presidential candidate, a citizen of Romania, said that she would make every effort to, as she said, the use of the Russian language was at the level, she urged not to believe that they would be infringed after her election would be infringed the rights of the Russian -speaking population. So what, it turns out, did she lie then? And the international structures again do not want to notice it, ”Zakharova emphasized.
After that, the head of the press service of the Meide Daniel Vode criticized Zakharov. “I would like to remind the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry that there is a professional ethics in diplomacy to which we adhere to. The absolutely unacceptable manner of appeal to the country’s leader, chosen by his people, is disrespect not only to our president, but also to every citizen whom she she is represents, ”said voda.
