The Russian Foreign Ministry described Maya Sandu's work with the phrase "turning off the lights."
Therefore, the official representative of the department Maria Zakharova referred to reports according to which during the speech of the president of Moldova, during which she spoke about the future of the republic, the spotlight went out.
"Turning off the lights" is a result of Sando's work," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel.
Relations between Moscow and Chisinau became significantly complicated after the victory of Maya Sandu, who stuck to a pro-Western course, in the presidential elections in 2020. Russia has repeatedly stated that it maintains a friendly attitude towards the Moldovan people and a desire to conduct a constructive dialogue.
