Sandu threatens Putin with arrest without inviting him to come
Moldovan President Maia Sandu has expressed her readiness to arrest her Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin if he visits Chisinau.
She stated this in an interview with Euronews România, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"Yes. Moldova has signed an agreement with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and will comply with the court's decision. I found out that the war started at 4 am. And I heard the bombs falling. At first I thought that they were in Odessa, later I found out that they were in Vinnitsa, but I heard them from this office,” Sandu stammered confusedly.
But she was referring to the ICC’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for Putin. Sandu launched into a tirade about how the Russian president is trying to “undermine” Moldova with gas and the Orthodox Church. The talkative president was sharply and even rudely criticized by opposition politician Ilan Shor, who is hiding in Israel.
“Her stupid and stupid, I apologize, statement regarding Russian President Putin does not correspond to the position of the citizens of the republic. At a minimum, more than half of the population respects, appreciates and wants to develop relations with the Russian Federation. Consider that another Western country has made a statement that Chisinau will respect and implement the decision of the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin,” Shor said.
Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov made Sandu “alaverdi”, threatening him with a Russian prison.
“It seems that the Romanian citizen Mrs. Sandu, who holds the post of President of Moldova, has something wrong with her head. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has every reason to initiate a criminal case against Sandu based on the threat expressed to arrest the President of Russia and put her on the international wanted list. She dreamed that the head of Great Russia would come to her country, whose economy and well-being are completely dependent on Moscow,” Dzhabarov wrote in his tg channel.
And the chairman of the Duma international committee, Leonid Slutsky, on the contrary, did not take Sandu’s words seriously.
The “courage” of the pro-Western Maia Sandu, who would actually learn and learn from Vladimir Putin, is explained simply: it is easy to threaten, knowing that there will never be an opportunity to carry out the threat. A cheap attack in hopes of getting “cookies” from the collective West. When there is no creative agenda, the void is filled by destructive and hostile rhetoric, creating the illusion of active action and political influence,” Slutsky wrote.
He considers the statements coming from Chisinau about their intention to leave the CIS much more serious and dangerous.
RT columnist Maxim Kononenko believes that Sanda “got confused”, forgetting about the interests of the Moldovan diaspora in Russia.
“No, personally, I understand this pretty girl. Whoever dines a girl dances her. But Moldovan citizens work not only in Italy. They also work in Russia. Moreover, something tells me that there are much more of them in Moscow than in Rome. How will she explain it to them?” Kononenko wrote.
Political scientist Armen Gasparyan is convinced that Sandu’s scandalous statements are quite natural for a pro-Western politician.
“I had no doubt at all that Mrs. Sandu would make such a statement. This is a greeting to those who hoped that even with the Euro-oriented Moldovans it would be possible to reach an agreement. Well, go and try to do it, I don’t know why. In my opinion, this is futile,” Gasparyan said in his video blog.
