Russia bars Moldovan nationals, summoning ambassador

Russia barred entry to a number of officials from Moldova on Monday and complained about moves by its pro-European government to block Russian media outlets ahead of local elections earlier this month.

The moves were the latest in a series of acerbic exchanges between the two sides and allegations by Moldova that Russia has been exerting pressure on the ex-Soviet state's affairs and President Maia Sandu's drive to join the European Union.

A Russian foreign ministry statement said Moldovan Ambassador Lilian Darie was summoned to be told of the decision.

"The Moldovan side was presented with a decisive protest in connection with the continuing politically motivated persecution of Russian media in Moldova, including the blocking of access to their Internet sites," a ministry statement said.

It said the ambassador was told that Moscow was taking an "assymetrical measure" to bar entry to a number of Moldovan officials, but gave no further details.

Moldovan foreign ministry spokesperson Igor Zaharov told Moldova-1 television that the government stood by protecting its media from interference regardless of Moscow's moves.

"...We are committed to continuing our defence of our information space from any outside interference and uphold our firm position against disinformation, hybrid attacks and attempts to destabilise the situation in Moldova," Zaharov said.

Moldova should conduct a ‘special military operation’ of their own and oust the Ruzzian occupiers in their northern reaches.

Why would Satan kill Russians like you? You already gave him your soul.

Hate to disappoint you, Madam Succubus, but I haven’t so much as one drop of Russian DNA. And my soul belongs to Jesus. :-)

Sounds like Ukraine. Why not just cancel the elections.

Take a look at your unwanted posts to me and then ask yourself why I wish and pray that you’d die.

Lord Haste the Day!

What I see in you is someone who is Satanically possessed. I just don’t have that kind of hate in my heart for people like you do. You should truly assess where you want to end up for eternity. Openly wishing and praying for the deaths of Christians is not going to land you where you think you’d like to go, unless Hades is where you want to go. Take it from me and others, you don’t want to be there. I pray for your soul.
