By the buffoonery-like conduct of the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian Federation wants to test the limits of the dialogue partner Moldova in a particular problem, said experts invited to the talk show “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.
Political commentator Victor Doras considers Dmitry Rogozin’s reaction is a personal one. “I don’t think his verses are the position of the Russian Federation. It is a kind of test. We see that a particular problem is being built again around the Transnistrian conflict because the Government of Moldova is trying to adopt another attitude to the current peacekeeping format,” he stated.
Expert Veaceslav Ionita said Dmitry Rogozin represents himself for the simple reason that the Russian Federation allowed him to do this. The Republic of Moldova, if it claims to be a European state, should adopt a European attitude and should not be like Rogozin and answer in his style. Also, Moldova should have some clear protection mechanisms.
Media analyst Cristian Tabara said there is a decision by the Council of the EU to impose sanctions on a number of Russian political and business figures and companies following the annexation of Crimea. The list includes Dmitry Rogozin. Rogozin knew this very well and yet tried to reach Chisinau by an ordinary flight with passengers on board, anticipating the consequences.
Political analyst Roman Mihaies considers President Igor Dodon in the current situation insists on being more Russian than Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Rogozin. “I thus wonder what the President of the Republic of Moldova deals with? Is he the President of the Republic of Moldova or of a geopolitical annex of the Russian Federation or even of the separatist regime because the decision to award medals to separatists can be interpreted as direct and brutal violation of the Penal Code,” he stated, adding the Moldovan senior officials should have a common position on such matters.
