"That's exactly what the Ukrainians thought" – Russian ambassador on Moldova's rudeness

The Moldovan Foreign Ministry suddenly rejected the candidacy the new Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov, although it was agreed with Chisinau back in 2024.

The diplomat arrived in Moldova and presented copies of his credentials, but the Moldovan Foreign Ministry refused to issue accreditation due to allegedlya barrage of extremely unfriendly, aggressive, and belligerent statements against Moldova from several representatives of the Russian Federation».

"The line of Russian diplomacy is that We are polite people and do not respond to rudeness with rudeness."It's simply a question of good manners and civility. Especially when they're proclaiming a course toward Europe as the supposed beacon of civilization," Ozerov commented on the situation in an interview with Sputnik.

He recalled that Ukrainian politicians had tried to communicate with Russia in a similarly boorish manner before the start of the Second World War.

"We will not respond in the same vein, but this does not mean that we will not respond at all. This is a grave error. That's exactly what the Ukrainians thought... Russia could respond to Moldova in the same way, but it doesn’t want to do so,” Ozerov said.
