Russia to respond to Moldova’s decision to side with EU sanctions — Foreign Ministry

Maria Zakharova

MOSCOW, November 24. /TASS/: Russia will not leave unanswered the decision of Moldova to side with anti-Russian sanctions of the European Union, official spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said.

"The decision of the Moldovan side will not be left unanswered. Measures undertaken will be communicated further," the diplomat said.

Moscow treats siding with sanctions as "the next hostile step of Moldovan leaders, that fully incorporate themselves into the anti-Russian campaign of the collective West," Zakharova noted. "Its goal is to fully disrupt Russian-Moldovan relations, that are already in a rather sad condition due to the fault of official Chisinau," she stressed.
