Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin hid behind women and children on the board of the plane in order to reach the Republic of Moldova, Ukrainian journalist wrote on the blog “Radio Svoboda”. This said Rogozin threatened Romania with revenge in an impudent form when he returned to Moscow, IPN reports.
“This pretended to be caring for the women and children aboard, whose lives would have been in danger as a result of the decision taken by Bucharest. But Rogozin didn’t think that he better wouldn’t have flied by that plane, knowing that he is under sanctions. The women and children were to serve as a live shield for him so that he could reach Moldova and could mark the day of occupants. It wasn’t meant to be this time,” said the journalist.
Petrisor Peiu, department coordinator at the Black Sea University Foundation, in an article for ziare.com says Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin is an eccentric figure even for the Russian standard of the expression. He has an interesting path to the hierarchy of the Kremlin.
President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for Transnistria Dmitry Rogozin threatened those who decided to ban the plane from entering Romanian airspace and thus thwarted his visit to Moldova with sanctions.
In an interview for the Russian press, a part of which was broadcast by the TV channel “Rossia 24” last Saturday, Dmitry Rogozin said: “An answer will definitely exist. We will determine who precisely was behind those decisions in Chisinau, Bucharest, Budapest, Brussels. We will identify the persons who took these decisions. Our sanctions will be comparable,” he stated.
The international press reported that neither Hungary allowed the plane with Rogozin on board to land at its airports until the situation was clarified and the aircraft thus had to land in Belarus.
Romania didn’t allow the aircraft to enter its airspace for the reason that persons against whom EU imposed sanctions were on board. The sanctions were imposed against Russia and Russian officials, who included Dmitry Rogozin, as a result of the annexation of Crimea.
