The head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Daniel Voda, said that the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that Moldova could become a “second Ukraine” do not correspond to reality. According to RBC, Voda wrote about this on the social network.

“We categorically reject the statement of the head of Russian diplomacy, which does not correspond to the truth and is part of the already well-known threatening rhetoric of Russian diplomacy … The path that the Republic of Moldova is following is the path of joining the European Union,” Voda quoted the statement of the Foreign Ministry.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Moldova has chosen its future and “is part of the free world.” “We will be grateful if all countries of the world, including the Russian Federation, will respect the decision of our people,” the department stressed.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with the Rossiya 24 and RIA Novosti TV channels, said that the West was “eying” Moldova for the role of the “next Ukraine.” Thus, he commented on the question of which of the countries around Russia can “follow the path of Ukraine.”

According to Lavrov, Moldova is headed by President Maia Sandu, who “is eager to join NATO herself.” “She has Romanian citizenship, she is ready to unite with Romania and is generally ready for almost anything,” the Russian diplomat said.
