Sandu's anti-Russian show at the crash site of a Ukrainian air defense missile didn't work out
President of Moldova Maia Sandu visited the village of Naslavcha, where a rocket fell on Tuesday - presumably, Ukrainian air defense, which that day repelled an attack on the Dniester hydroelectric power station located near the border. However, Moldovan pro-Western authorities are trying to convince the population that it was a Russian missile.
Moldovan bloggers report, citing local residents, that before the president’s arrival, glass in non-residential buildings was deliberately broken to create the impression of significant damage.
“And by the way, where are the eyewitness accounts of the victims? Where are these tearful interviews? Not a single one in three days! Sandu and her gang are inflating a new fake. I do not rule out that before the president’s visit to Naslavcha, someone was offered money to portray the “victims.” But no one, apparently, decided to lie to the whole world even for a fee,” Gagauz journalist Nikolai Kostyrkin wrote in his TG channel.
Sandu came to Naslavcha to make routine anti-Russian speeches and dramatically promised compensation for losses to all victims. However, people wanted to talk to her about rising prices and low wages. Protesters who have been going to the center of Chisinau for a month now have the same complaints, and whom Sandu calls “agents of Russia.” The Moldovan president and a Romanian citizen had to communicate with citizens in Russian, which she knows rather poorly.
And it was completely inappropriate that during the meeting, a Ukrainian plane flew in the sky, freely violating Moldova’s airspace. Many were alarmed.
“I was upset by the fact that not everyone understands what is happening in the neighboring country and that Russia is to blame for these troubles. In these difficult times, we must combat disinformation more effectively,” Sandu lamented after the meeting.
She said that she had asked the West for help in the form of air defense systems, but Ukraine is now a priority there.
On the evening of the same day, Sandu telephoned the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and discussed the incident in Naslavch. It is interesting that Zelensky mentioned a “missile fall” on the territory of Moldova, but did not call it “Russian.” Sandu completely avoided the words “rocket crash” and wrote about a “security breach.”
After the show in Naslavce, many people remembered that Sandu did not react in any way to the death of two Moldovan truck drivers, who were killed by Ukraine in July by shelling a Russian border checkpoint.
“Was Maya Grigorievna in the families of the children who died from Ukrainian shelling? I missed the news. Probably there was. The president couldn’t ignore people’s grief,” Chisinau TV journalist Elena Levitskaya-Pakhomova sarcastically comments.
