Lavrov said on Thursday that Moldova, an Eastern European country and former Soviet republic, is putting itself in harm's way in its desire to join the European Union.
In June 2022, the EU and its member states offered unwavering support for Moldova and granted it candidate status. The support was reaffirmed in March of this year, with the EU and its members promising to continue to provide security and economic support to Moldova as it awaits its path to accession...
On Thursday, the Moldova Foreign Ministry issued a rebuke to Lavrov's comments, calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine "brutal" and saying that Moldova "has felt the entire arsenal of destabilization attempts that Russia has unleashed against us."
"Russia's statements, whether today or on previous occasions, are part of the series of hostile actions that the Russian Federation has been trying to implement towards our country over the past 30 years," the statement reads. "Fortunately, throughout this time, the partner states in the West have been by our side, helping us to successfully overcome these threats...
"The Republic of Moldova is going, irreversibly, on the European path and today, more than ever, we insist on the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops from our territory."
On November 24, Russian officials chastised Moldova and threatened to retaliate after its parliament voted to join the EU sanctions against Russia in connection with the war in Ukraine. Moldova's move is part of moves to change legislation so it can make a bid to join the EU.
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Lavrov's comments "confirm that Russia has no intentions to stop at Ukraine unless it is stopped."..

Comes with the Youkazoidal turf.
That one's loyalties are, in order: Youcrayne first. USA last.
Based on my direct experiences, Youcraynians are precisely the same as RuZZZZZians in that regard. In both cultures everything's for sale - and I mean everything.
Eastern Europeans have been mindlessly slaughtering, impoverishing and wrecking each other, non-stop, for centuries. After a Russian or Uke (basically the same peoples) shakes your hand, you'd best check to make sure you still have all your fingers. Generally speaking, they are always on the make.
Not a penny more of US taxpayers' money to prop up Youcrayne and its corrupt, gay-dancing puppet. No hard working Americans' money to pay government salaries and pensions there. That is inexcusable and utterly immoral. Not one US dollar must go to these grifting, kleptocratic scumbags. Enough of this travesty now.
Kudos. That is an excellent point.
One watches the "progressives" here and in Europe tearing away at their own societies, as if they can build anything better. The "utopia" dreamers have never learned that u-topia is a compound word meaning essentially "no place."
Some might say that the $$ we are donating to Ukraine is well spent insofar as it weakens Putin's Russia - you know, the successor-state of the hated U.S.S.R., which (more than any other foe) has thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles pointed at the American heartland?
Some might say that we simply don't want Putin to be rewarded for his imperialistic adventurism.
Regards,
When are you going to Youycrayne to fight for your beloved nation and its creepy, grifting, gay-dancing puppet? I can help you get there. Seriously, I can.
This doesn't give you a pass to come to an American forum and tell US taxpayers that Putin is an enemy and needs to be eliminated. We're done with tax drains for endless wars, but feel free to take your childish bellicosity to Canberra and demand change from those leftist politicians cowards like you have allowed into power.
It isn't a donation and some might call people like you the John McCain Lindsey Graham-wing of the GOP. I'm going to go ahead and drop you into that bucket.
Good point. I have no problem with anyone digging into their own pockets and donating money to Youcrayne and its kleptocratic government. But like most Americans, I don't want a single cent of my cash going to that mess.
The Russian government recently built a new statue of mass murderer Felix Dzerzhinsky in Moscow. If that isn’t Bolshevism nothing is.
To understand how off-course America has become, warmongers like alexander_busek have helped put the United States $34 trillion in debt, and as a solution they suggest cuts to social security. And they wonder why the Republican Party has become a full Clown Show. You can’t make this sh*t up.
And here comes the #NeverTrump Clown Show. We don't GAF about statues in Moscow, our own country is collapsing. Are you still trying to push The Meatball uphill?
“ Those “munitions” have been rotting away for the past three decades. I wonder in what condition they are.”
To be fair I’m shooting some Russian 7.62 X 54r that was manufactured in the 1960s. It was probably dug up from a Bulgarian potato field before it was shipped here. It’s all still gone bang when I wanted it to.

Are these the guys that are going to sign up for trench, drone, artillery and missile warfare. Sure they are…. Of course they will.

Then it’s time for them to choose. They can be Moldovan or they can be Ruzzian. If it is the latter then they can pack up their stuff and go to Ruzzia.
Or Hell.
Either is acceptable.
Or they can fight for independence with the aid of a foreign power that is in conflict with the Moldovan government.
It’s been done before.
You know, a group of rebellious citizens fighting a super power with the aid of a rival super power to form a new country.
“Or they can fight for independence”
You mean like Crimea, Donbas, and Luhansk?
Right, they were annexed by Ruzzia.
So like I said the Ruzzian colonists will either leave or die. They are an existential threat to any country foolish enough to host them.
No like Israel, the United States, India, Vietnam, Mexico,
I can name three that would like to pull-out and one biggie that never joined.
You’re not an employee of the EU are you?
Ah; as the clueless are apt to do, when they cannot logically refute something, you embrace the habits of the left: You assume facts not in evidence, jump to conclusions, and rush to judgment; all signs of desperation, which you exhibit in spades.
“Hate to break it to you but Russia isn’t afraid of NATO.”
Then why does Russia constantly screech about NATO?
It’s also interesting that you mention Russia losing 30 million civilians, and that that fact suggests Russians are not deterred by “threats.” Of, course, it is also interesting to note that you did not mention that a great number of those civilians were killed by their own government.
“This doesn’t give you a pass to come to an American forum and tell US taxpayers that Putin is an enemy and needs to be eliminated. We’re done with tax drains for endless wars....”
YOU — who displays the national flag of a foreign country on his home page — are on an “American forum.”
So, what’s this “we,” kemosabe? Are you even an American citizen (hence your display of the Irish national flag on your homepage)? Or, are you an American citizen, but one who has disassociated himself with his home country, and moved elsewhere, in which case you are — at the most charitable of descriptions — an expat? Of course, you could also have turned your back on the US and now have an allegiance to another country, which — in some circles — you’d be seen as a traitor. Or, possibly, you are just a contrarian malcontent whose only allegiance is to himself, and himself alone?
But the simple fact remains that FR does not preclude from participation those of other nationalities.
