Galuzin: Russia Expects Normalization of Relations with Moldova after the Elections

This was stated by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Mikhail Galuzin in an interview with the Russian press. “We hope that the right conclusions will be drawn in favor of restoring, normalizing, and developing good, neighborly relations, rather than going nowhere, that is, breaking with Russia, reckless rapprochement with the European Union and NATO, and turning the country into a logistical hub to support the Kyiv regime,” the diplomat said, according to infotag.md. As for the Transnistrian issue, the Russian Foreign Ministry regrets that “Chisinau prefers methods of financial and economic pressure on Transnistria to dialogue with Tiraspol”. “The emphasis is on the forced integration of the left bank into the process of Moldova’s European integration. At the same time, the 5+2 negotiation format is being blocked under far-fetched pretexts. It is also alarming that, despite assurances of commitment to peaceful methods of resolving the Transnistrian issue, there are talks about the possibility of its forceful solution with the participation of the Kyiv regime,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
