CHISINAU, November 29. /TASS/. The European Union is trying to draw into its confrontation with Russia the pro-Western Moldovan government, which promised to join the EU soon, Russian ambassador Oleg Ozerov said commenting on the Moldovan Foreign Ministry’s placing of a Gerbera drone on its steps.
The drone allegedly landed in Moldova.
"I suspect that this is being done under the pressure from the Brussels structures. The European Union, which has chosen the course of endless confrontation with Russia, is preparing for war with Russia and, naturally, is trying to draw into it the countries whose governments declare their readiness to join the EU," the diplomat said in an interview with RT.
Ozerov said Moldova’s accusations were groundless and called on Chisinau to return to a constructive dialogue.
"There should be no double standards. When an incident allegedly involving Russian drones, the origin of which has yet to be proven, occurs, the ambassador is immediately summoned and protest is submitted. While in more serious cases, when weapons freely pass through Moldova from Ukraine, there are no protests. Obviously, we need to develop a unified approach. Any incident must first be investigated, its circumstances clarified, and only then should any measures be taken, including protests," the ambassador said.
