“Chisinau is abusing its status as a host country.” This is how Maria Zakharova commented on the refusal to allow a Russian delegation to enter Moldova to participate in the 34th session of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Conference for Europe.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson called the decision, “part of an anti-Russian campaign,” and “another confirmation of the course for the destruction of Russian-Moldovan relations.”
“Chisinau is openly abusing its status as a host of UN events, which calls into question the ability of the Moldovan authorities to act in this capacity in the future,” Maria Zakharova said.
