Commenting on the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, Nikolenko noted that Moscow is not for the first time to resort to such rhetoric and will not regret efforts to "protect the Russian -speaking population of Moldova. " "We have already seen it. The same was the justification for the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine.
We express full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova," - said in a message from the representative of the press service of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. The adviser to the chairman of the OP Mikhail Podolyak commented on the statement of Lavrov: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia directly states that the next mandatory goal for destruction is Moldova.
" On the morning of Thursday, September 1, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov stated that the creation of any threat to safety to Russian troops in the Transnistria region threatens the risk of military confrontation with Moscow. The Russian official reminded the war in Georgia in 2008, saying that in the Kremlin the actions of Moldova would inevitably be regarded as an attack on the Russian Federation.
Speaking to MDIMV students, Lavrov said that Russian "peacemakers" and military people who protect the largest ammunition composition on the continent were stationed in Transnistria. Any actions that threaten the safety of Russian troops in Transnistria are regarded as an attack on Russia.
"In Moldova, it is necessary to understand that the threats to the safety of Russian" peacekeepers "in Transnistria will be considered as an attack on the Russian Federation," Lavrov warned, adding that it was already in South Ossetia, "when our peacekeepers attacked Saakashvili. " Earlier, Focus reported that Russia could invade Moldova, trying to split NATO unity. So the Russian Federation can affect Romania's interests; Another option is to start an invasion of the Baltic countries.
