We regret and firmly condemn the incident with the involvement of three Moldovan citizens in Paris, which are part of hybrid tactics to harm our international image. Chișinău authorities are ready to cooperate with France to clarify and hold those responsible accountable.
The Republic of Moldova firmly condemns the conduct of Russian presidential elections in the Georgia's regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in violation of international law.

A diplomat was declared persona non grata.
A Russian diplomat was declared persona non grata by Moldovan authorities today. He was caught red handed engaging in clandestine activities, contrary to the Viena Convention.
This indicates the increasing resilience of Moldovan institutions in combatting hybrid threats.
The Republic of Moldova condemns in the strongest possible terms Iran’s attack against Israel. Stand in solidarity with Israel and its people. As regional security in the entire Middle East is under grave threat, further escalation must be avoided.

Russia’s subversive activity & electoral interference in Moldova will not deter us from our path.

Urged an end to Russia's unjust war in Ukraine. 🇲🇩 & 🇺🇦 stand united for a joint peaceful European future.
