The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov predicts Moldova's problems in the "Transnistrian settlement", and not only that.
Russia threatens Moldova
During the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) meeting, the Russian Foreign Ministry chief, Sergey Lavrov, called Moldova the next victim of the "hybrid war of the West against Russia".
The Russian mass media wrote about it.
According to the Russian MFA chief, the "5+2" format is the last remaining format of the joint efforts regarding the Transnistrian settlement.
Lavrov believes that the West is preparing Moldova for the role of the next victim in the hybrid war that it has unleashed against Russia.
In a series of failed attempts to solve Europe's problems based on the principles of the OSCE, Kozak's memorandum could have reliably settled the situation in Moldova 20 years ago, Lavrov said.
NATO and EU Brussels then unceremoniously torpedoed the document already initialed by Chisinau and Tiraspol, and now they are killing the +2 format as well, the last that remains of joint efforts for the Transnistrian settlement. In fact, the fate of the next victim in the hybrid war unleashed by the West against of Russia
Lavrov said that every country in which Western emissaries, foundations and non-governmental organizations are now being activated should consider it.
Lavrov spoke at the OSCE meeting
On November 30, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia spoke for 15 minutes before leaving the meeting. He blamed the war, which Russia started by invading Ukraine in February 2022, on "the West's tolerance of the ruling neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv."
The very existence of Russians and their decisive contribution to the history of Ukraine is denied. There are many facts. The OSCE and relevant institutions are silent, Lavrov said.
Western ministers who attended the OSCE meeting sharply criticized Lavrov after his speech.
Russia's attempts to blame others for its own choices are transparent. We will not compromise on the key principles of the European security order or allow Russia to deny Ukraine the right to make its own independent choices in foreign and security policy — principles that Russia itself has agreed to, said the Danish MFA chief Lars Locke Rasmussen in his speech when Lavrov had left the hall.
NATO member North Macedonia lifted the ban on Russian flights so Lavrov could attend the meeting.
The foreign ministers of Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania said they would not participate in the talks because of Lavrov's participation.
