After the United States, the UK and Canada last month accused the Kremlin of plotting to divert the presidential election in the Republic of Moldova and the referendum on joining the European Union, Moscow continues “to want to do Russian good” to the Moldovans, IPN reports, referring to Adevărul.
Recently, Russian officials held in Moscow a conference entitled “In Moldova or Romania: will the Republic of Moldova remain on the map in 2025?” and, in order to give it an allure of “will of the people”, they requested the participation of representatives of the separatists from the left bank of the Nistru and the criminal group from Comrat. “Chisinau was represented by Socialist parliamentarian Bogdan Țîrdea, fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor and Bishop of Balti and Falesti Marchel,” the quoted source said.
According to the source, Moscow’s servants deliberated on the “annexation” of the Republic of Moldova by Romania, even if the European integration is the engine that now moves things in the space between the Prut and the Nistru, and the pro-European parties in Chisinau even endeavored to generate a political consensus similar to the “Snagov pact” in Romania in 1995.
The “international scientific-practical” conference in the Russian capital, organized by the Institute of CIS Countries, which over time has “substantiated” the Kremlin’s foreign policy in the so-called “close neighborhood” of the Russian Federation, blamed what it called “the course of the Republic of Moldova towards the European Union and NATO, and its absorption by Romania, the escalation of the authorities’ repression against this background and the internal political struggle ahead of the re-election of the President of the Republic, together with the expansion of the blockade of the so-called “RMN”, which cannot leave Russia indifferent”, given Moscow’s expansionist interests.
The source also noted that the executors of the order are led by Russian MP Konstantin Zatulin, who has been “feeding” for years on all the conflicts in the ex-Soviet space, including the one in the Transnistrian separatist region, and who recently participated together with the former President of the Republic of Moldova and the current leader of the PSRM, Igor Dodon, in another conference in praise of past times, which was recently staged in Slovakia, with the contribution of bodies linked to the Russian FSB.
As for the “event” held in Moscow, it was publicized, including by Rossiya 1 television channel. The Russian narrative that the Republic of Moldova will lose its statehood if the Moldovans say “yes” to the referendum on the country’s accession to the European Union is disseminated in connection with the October 20 presidential election and national constitutional referendum on joining the European Union.
