Oleg Ozerov has accused Moldova of applying double standards to drones and claimed that pressure from Brussels drives hostility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moldova is acting under EU influence and its drone accusations against Russia are unproven and politically motivated, Moscow’s ambassador to the ex-Soviet country has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RT on Saturday, Oleg Ozerov confirmed the embassy had received a complaint earlier this week over six alleged drone flights and a drone reportedly found in the Floresti region.<\/p>\n

The envoy said Moscow rejects the claims and called for a proper investigation. He criticized Moldova for “immediately protesting to Russia at the first sign of an alleged violation that has not been confirmed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“An objective investigation must first be conducted,”<\/em> Ozerov stated.<\/p>\n

“Shortly before the drone incident, a truck was stopped at the Moldova-Romania border, and weapons and ammunition were found inside,”<\/em> he said. “The truck had come from Ukraine. However, this didn’t result in the Ukrainian ambassador being summoned,”<\/em> the diplomat added.<\/p>\n

Ozerov also referred to the alleged UAV flight on November 20, saying “no drone was found,”<\/em> and that “Romanian services”<\/em> had detected the alleged flights, not Moldovan ones. “There is no evidence that this drone originated from Russia,”<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

Moldovan authorities claimed on Saturday that UAVs had once again crossed into the country’s airspace amid a Russian operation targeting Ukraine. The alleged incident, reportedly the third in just over a week, led to the temporary closure of Moldovan airspace.<\/p>\n

Ozerov said relations between Russia and Moldova are now “at their lowest point, close to freezing.”<\/em> He blamed Chisinau for taking unilateral steps to cut ties since 2023 and warned they are doing so “under pressure from Brussels.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Relations have worsened under President Maia Sandu, who came to power in 2020 and whose pro-EU government has been accused of political repression.<\/p>\n

Key opposition figures have been sidelined — some jailed, others driven into exile.<\/p>\n

Moldovan voters in the breakaway region of Transnistria faced a sharp reduction in polling stations, while many citizens abroad were left without a meaningful chance to vote. Independent observers were prevented from carrying out their oversight duties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
